Angiography

An angiography is a diagnostic technique enabling the identification and evaluation of conditions affecting blood vessels (e.g. blockages, aneurysms, blood clots, narrowing). The procedure involves a colorless dye being flushed into the arteries through a long thin tube passed from the wrist or groin artery around to the heart whilst X-ray pictures are taken.

Angiographies are usually performed in patients with suspected heart conditions and so, allows for appropriate and timely treatment.
