When Do You Need a Coronary Angiography? Clear Guide by Wellmed Hospitals

Most people have heard the term coronary angiography, but very few know when this test is actually needed. In this video, the cardiology team at Wellmed Hospitals (NABH Accredited) explains how we evaluate chest discomfort and when angiography becomes necessary. Symptoms like: 🔸 Chest pain 🔸 Breathlessness 🔸 Palpitations Do NOT always mean a heart attack or heart blockage. That’s why doctors first perform non-invasive tests to understand the root cause. These include: ✔ ECG ✔ Treadmill Test (TMT) ✔ 2D Echo / Stress Echo If these tests suggest a heart-related issue or show abnormalities, then we proceed with the most important diagnostic test: Coronary Angiography — Not a treatment, but a diagnostic test ✔ Semi-invasive procedure ✔ Helps view the heart arteries in detail ✔ Confirms whether any blockage exists ✔ Takes only 10–15 minutes ✔ Most patients get same-day discharge (morning admission → evening discharge) At Wellmed Hospitals, we have full facilities for a safe, precise & quick angiography. If you experience chest discomfort or suspect a heart issue, consult your cardiologist and get evaluated early. #WellmedHospitals #CoronaryAngiography #HeartHealth #ChestPain #Breathlessness #Palpitations #CardiacCare #NABHAccredited #HeartCheckup #AngiographyTest #Cardiology
