Here is some information about coronary angiography: • It is a procedure in which dye is injected into the body and then X-rays are used to visualize blood flow through the vessels that feed the heart. • It is usually done along with catheterization, in which a balloon-tipped catheter is threaded into the coronary arteries to achieve a better view of the vessels and remove any blockages that are found • The procedure carries with it a very small risk of a serious adverse event, including a heart attack or stroke Researchers from Duke University Medical Center in Durham used a national cardiovascular registry to identify nearly 400000 individuals without known heart disease who underwent coronary catheterization to look for obstructions in the blood vessels that feed the heart.
