Accurate Diagnosis is the First Step Toward a Healthier Heart

A Coronary Angiogram is a specialized diagnostic procedure used to visualize the coronary arteries—the vessels that supply blood to your heart. It helps detect blockages, narrowing, or abnormalities that could lead to serious conditions like heart attacks.

At Manipal Hospital, Sarjapur Road, Dr. M. Sudhakar Rao brings over 15 years of experience and global expertise (FACC, FESC, FSCAI) to offer precise and safe angiographic evaluations.

Why is a Coronary Angiogram Needed?

This test is recommended if you:

• Experience chest pain, discomfort, or breathlessness

• Show signs of coronary artery disease in stress tests or ECG

• Have abnormal ECHO or TMT results

• Have suffered a heart attack

• Are scheduled for angioplasty or heart surgery

How the Procedure Works

• A catheter is inserted into an artery in your wrist or groin

• A contrast dye is injected into the coronary arteries

• Real-time X-ray images (angiograms) are captured

• The images show blockages, narrowing, or other structural issues in the coronary vessels

The procedure is minimally invasive and typically takes 20–30 minutes.

Benefits of Coronary Angiogram

• Accurate diagnosis of coronary artery disease

• Determines the location and severity of blockages

• Helps decide if you need angioplasty, stenting, or surgery

• Can be followed by immediate treatment if needed (ad-hoc angioplasty)

• Safe and quick recovery, often with same-day discharge

What to Expect After the Test

• A few hours of monitoring post-procedure

• Temporary rest for the catheter insertion site

• You can usually return home the same day or next day

• Dr. Sudhakar Rao will explain the results and recommend next steps
