Coronary Angiography

Coronary Angiography
Coronary angiography (an-jee-OG-ra-fee) is a test that uses dye and special x-rays to show the inside of your coronary arteries. The coronary arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to your heart.

A material called plaque (plak) can build up on the inside walls of the coronary arteries, causing them to narrow. When this happens, it's called coronary heart disease (CHD) or coronary artery disease.

CHD can prevent enough blood from flowing to your heart and can lead to angina (an-JI-nuh or AN-juh-nuh) and heart attack. (Angina is chest pain or discomfort.) Coronary angiography shows whether you have CHD.

Most of the time, the coronary arteries can't be seen on an x-ray. During coronary angiography, special dye is injected into the bloodstream to make the coronary arteries show up on an x-ray.
