Cardio Smart Coronary Angiography

WHAT IS IT?

Coronary angiography is a test that uses dye and special x rays to show the inside of your coronary arteries. A material called plaque can build up on the inside walls of the coronary arteries and cause them to narrow. When this happens, it’s called coronary artery disease (CAD). CAD can prevent enough blood from flowing to your heart and can lead to angina (chest discomfort or pain) and heart attack. Coronary angiography shows if you have CAD.
