Coronary Angiography is offered by most super specialty hospitals in India, including the Apollo and the Escorts Hospital. This is an effective method for taking X Rays of the veins and arteries, or the more inaccessible chambers of the heart. In this procedure, a catheter tube is inserted into the heart or arteries close to it, and a fluorescent dye is injected into the bloodstream, which is picked up by X Ray machines. The X Ray photograph thus obtained is known as an angiogram.

The Apollo Cardiac Center offers excellent facilities for coronary angiography. The cardiac experts at the hospitals offer advice and answer all queries regarding the procedure. A coronary angiograph is especially useful in case the doctor is considering heart surgery for the patient.
