This is a procedure to examine blood flow to the heart and test how well the heart is pumping. A thin plastic tube (catheter) is inserted into an artery in the arm or leg. From there, it is advanced into the chambers of the heart or into the coronary arteries. The Interventional Cardiologist who does this procedure is able to get information about the pumping ability of the heart muscle and also the freeness of the blood flow in the Coronaries. The block, if any, in the Coronary arteries is evaluated through this diagnostic procedure.
Coronary angioplasty is a medical procedure in which a balloon is used to open a blockage in the coronary artery, which is narrowed by atherosclerosis. The opening of the blocks enables the blood to flow to the heart. Atherosclerosis is a condition in which a material called plaque builds up on the inner walls of the arteries.
