An angiogram is a diagnostic procedure that uses X-rays to identify blockages in your blood vessels, including arteries and veins. This test allows doctors to examine blood vessels and detect issues within the vascular system in various parts of the body. It is useful for diagnosing conditions like cardiovascular disease, stroke, and other vascular problems.

What Happens During an Angiogram?
During an angiogram, you will usually remain awake, though you may be given a sedative to help you relax. While lying on an X-ray table, a small incision is made in an artery, typically near your groin or wrist, with a local anaesthetic to numb the area. A thin, flexible catheter is inserted into the artery and guided to the target area, such as the heart.
A contrast dye is then injected through the catheter, and X-rays are taken as the dye moves through your blood vessels. The procedure generally lasts 30 minutes to 2 hours, and you will usually be able to go home a few hours afterward.
