Coronary Angiography (CAG)

Coronary Angiography (CAG)

Coronary Angiography (CAG) is a diagnostic procedure that provides detailed images of the heart’s blood vessels to identify blockages or narrowing. It helps detect coronary artery disease and guides treatment decisions like medication, angioplasty, or stenting. Dr. Vaibhav Shukla performs Coronary Angiography with precision and care, ensuring accurate diagnosis and minimal discomfort for patients.

Symptoms That May Require Coronary Angiography

CAG is often recommended for individuals experiencing:

• Chest pain or pressure (angina)

• Shortness of breath during activity

• Fatigue or weakness

• Irregular heartbeats or palpitations

• High risk of heart disease due to diabetes, hypertension, or family history
  Early diagnosis through CAG helps prevent serious heart complications.

Treatment and Process

During the procedure, a thin, flexible catheter is inserted into a blood vessel in the wrist or groin and guided to the coronary arteries. A special dye is injected, making the arteries visible on X-ray images. This allows Dr. Vaibhav Shukla to identify blockages, narrowing, or other abnormalities accurately. The procedure typically takes 15–30 minutes, and patients are monitored closely throughout. Most people can return home the same day with simple aftercare instructions.
