Angiography and the cath lab
When tests point to narrowed arteries, an angiogram shows the detail. Your cardiologist explains every option, its benefits and its risks, before anything is planned.
Who it is for
- Your tests suggest narrowed coronary arteries
- You have chest discomfort on effort that needs explaining
- Your doctor recommends a closer look before surgery elsewhere
- You need a second opinion on an angiogram
If you have chest pain right now, do not wait for an appointment: call 112.
