Angiography of heart video
Common Questions and Answers about Angiography of heart video
angiogram
Here is a YouTube video on brain angiography. Generally, once started the procedure takes less than half an hour.

Your doctor did the angio and concluded that your heart was healthy after that. You have had *extremely* thorough testing of your heart, and you can and should believe the results you have gotten.
As I mentioned, your finger pain is not heart-related. It is most probably caused by some irritation of the 7th Cervical nerve, which is in your neck. An orthopedist or neurologist will be able to help you with that.
As you mentioned about symptoms , I got symptom of discomfort in throat just 30 minutes before Heart Attack, but I felt it could be only due to some food, oil consumed in preparation of food.This sort of discomfort was total different which I feel it after consuming some oil based food, but I could not realize the difference as I drank 2/3 glasses of water
immediately. I realized only when I perspire a lot and my pressure dropped drastically at lower levels.
Moreover, I would love to shoot an email with the snap shot of angiography if some expert plz give his email. So that he might give me more insightful reply. Thanks alot. Waiting for .....
calcific vessel. Normal. LAD: calcific vessel,moderate stenosis in mid course. minor osteal disease at the orgin of D1 & D2.

RCA;Dominant. spotty calcification. diffuse minor disease proximal to mid segment. PDA has moderete/ subcritical osteal disease.
My Grandmother has been detected with a blockage in heart, and its not getting well by the use of medicines.
Her Doctor is suggesting Angiography now.
Her age is 81 by now. I wanted to take other Doctors opinion about this case.
Well, I'm home from having had my CT Angiography of the brain and heart. Now, I just have to wait one week until I go back to the neuro to find out the results of it.
The Neuro said my last MRI was the weirdest and unusual MRI of the brain that she had ever seen. The report said something about Vertebral Basilar Insufficiency and something about an enlarged vessel or something. My brainstem has moderate damage (Chronic Gliosis) and it didn't sound like it was damaged from the MS.
There is hypokinesia (heart wall movement impairment) disorder of apex,IVS (Impairment is the wall (septum) that separates the left and right ventricular chambers and anterior wall due to a prior heart attack. This impairment reduces the heart's ability to pump normally. Normal is an ejection fraction (EF) 50 to 70%...amount of blood pumped with each heartbeat.
If angioplasty is to be a success, the hypokinetic (heart wall movement impairment) should be the goal. The impairment is due to ischemia (lack of blood flow)according to the report, and that condition can reduce the heart's contractility.
Angioplasty may be a the right solution and then be on medciation to prevent or slow any further progression of ischemia. Seven years ago, I was in more serious condition.
I have already place the question yesterday the patient ismy father M67 result of angiography is 100%blockege in Mid LAD distle LAD retrograde filling through collaterals the blockege is between 2nd septal and 2nd Diag, Br.
It is useful to check the blood flow to the heart if any blocks in the arteries supplying the heart and blood pressure in the chambers of the heart. It is a safe and simple procedure. The dye is usually harmless, except in a very few patient’s who might experience a allergic reaction to it.
Heaviness in the chest and discomfort should be evaluated thoroughly for cardiac causes especially if risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, smoking, obesity etc are present.
On the basis of this cardiologist advised to get CT coronary angiography. The result of the CT coronary angiography as given below:
1.Eccentric calcific in the RCA and distal LAD causing mild (20-30%) luminal narrowing.
2. No evidence of hypo perfusion or perfusion defects in the resting first pass myocardial enhancement.
Now our cardiologists has advised to get catheter angiography to rule out further.
Please advise me what should me my course of action.
Should I be concerned about a CT Scan that shows 30% blockage of arteries? I have a family history of heart disease on my mother's side of the family. Almost all of her brothers and sisters have had heart attacks and blockage. I would like to know if there is any other tests that I should have done at age 48?
Whichever one the doctor says is more in need. Why? Because age should not matter. Age does not make one person more or less valuable.
Troponin T and Troponin I are accurate and are only released by cardiac muscle. If elevated, then they usually suggest angiography because there is a very high possibility that MI has occurred. Troponin also remains elevated for up to 14 days. Should you go for Angiography? Given the results of the test, I think the question is really "is it worth the risk not to have angiography".
org/concept
Their advertisements ask patients experiencing chest, heaviness in chest or breathlessness to come their Ayurveda clinic instead of going for angiography or other treatment in a hospital. They say they can reverse heart disease in six days using exercise, massage and steam baths.
Is it safe to try this treatment? It spooks me since their disclaimer says 1 in 2500 patients will experience heart attacks as a side effect.
He achieved max heartrateof150beat/min which was 88% of age predicted maximum heart rate.The BP response was normal. he achieved a work load of 8.2 METS. Peak double product achieved was 25500 mmHg. The reason for termination of test was THR achieved . there was no angina Max ST-T changes occurred at peak exercise in the form of 1.0 to 1.5 mm horizontal /down sloping ST depression in leads V2-V5 no chest confort.
t understand in the reading it said mild diffuse disease in LAD but high grade stenosis. I understand that it means blockage of some degree but does this mean I have future issues to worry about?
Hypokinesis is an impairment of heart walls and as a result a lower than normal ejection fraction (normal is 50 to 70%). Underlying cause can be high blood pressure.
Also, dilated Left Ventricle can also be the result of high blood pressure. Also, the filling of blood phase is impaired due to wall stiffness. That can also be related to high blood pressure.
Jerky septum. Septum is the wall that separates the right and left side of the heart.
I am not an expert, but I would say that should not be any problem, since with the angiography they do not enter inside of the heart or pass by any of the valves. They just explore the coronaries arteries.
Also there is radiation in the process but not magnetic fields that could affect metallic items.
If you can get x-Rays you should not have any issues.
