Coronary angiography is an X-ray examination of the blood vessels or chambers of the heart.
A tube is inserted either in your groin or arm. This fluid is visible by X-ray and the pictures that are obtained are called angiograms . Other names for this test are angiocardiography and coronary arteriography . It isn't possible to discuss the pros and cons of coronary arteriography, because it's different for every patient. It should be discussed on an individual basis by the physician and patient.
