Treatment & Procedures
Coronary angiogram is a diagnostic procedure used to visualize the coronary arteries of the heart. A contrast dye is injected into the arteries through a catheter, and X-ray images are taken to identify any blockages or narrowing. This test helps doctors determine the extent and location of coronary artery disease and plan appropriate treatments.
Angioplasty is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to treat narrowed or blocked blood vessels, usually in the coronary arteries of the heart. A small balloon-tipped catheter is inserted into the affected artery and inflated to widen the vessel, improving blood flow. Often, a stent is also placed to keep the artery open. Angioplasty helps relieve symptoms and reduce the risk of heart attacks.
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a non-invasive medical test that records the electrical activity of the heart over a short period. Electrodes placed on the chest and limbs detect the heart’s electrical signals, creating a graph (ECG) showing the heart’s rhythm and helping diagnose various heart conditions and abnormalities.
