2. Coronary CT angiography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_CT_angiography

   Coronary CT angiography (CTA or CCTA) is the use of computed tomography (CT) angiography to assess the coronary arteries of the heart.The patient receives an intravenous injection of radiocontrast and then the heart is scanned using a high speed CT scanner, allowing physicians to assess the extent of occlusion in the coronary arteries, usually in order to diagnose coronary artery disease.

3. Angiography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angiography

   Angiography or arteriography is a medical imaging technique used to visualize the inside, or lumen, of blood vessels and organs of the body, with particular interest in the arteries, veins, and the heart chambers. Modern angiography is performed by injecting a radio-opaque contrast agent into the blood vessel and imaging using X-ray based ...

4. Coronary artery bypass surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_artery_bypass_surgery

   The patient's head (not seen) is at the bottom. Coronary artery bypass surgery, also known as coronary artery bypass graft (CABG, pronounced "cabbage"), is a surgical procedure to treat coronary artery disease (CAD), the buildup of plaques in the arteries of the heart. It can relieve chest pain caused by CAD, slow the progression of CAD, and ...

   ICD-9-CM. 36.09, 00.66. [edit on Wikidata] Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a minimally invasive non-surgical procedure used to treat narrowing of the coronary arteries of the heart found in coronary artery disease.

   Coronary catheterization. A coronary catheterization is a minimally invasive procedure to access the coronary circulation and blood filled chambers of the heart using a catheter. It is performed for both diagnostic and interventional (treatment) purposes. Coronary catheterization is one of the several cardiology diagnostic tests and procedures.

7. Coronary artery disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_artery_disease

   Coronary angiogram of a male Coronary angiogram of a female. The diagnosis of CAD depends largely on the nature of the symptoms and imaging. The first investigation when CAD is suspected is an electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG), both for stable angina and acute coronary syndrome. An X-ray of the chest, blood tests and resting echocardiography may be ...

8. Computed tomography angiography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/.../Computed_tomography_angiography

   Computed tomography angiography (also called CT angiography or CTA) is a computed tomography technique used for angiography —the visualization of arteries and veins —throughout the human body. Using contrast injected into the blood vessels, images are created to look for blockages, aneurysms (dilations of walls), dissections (tearing of ...

9. Spontaneous coronary artery dissection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_coronary...

   This is a representative video of coronary angiography. While it does not display SCAD, it highlights the technique used to identify the condition. Given the demographics of SCAD, it is important to maintain a high index of suspicion for the condition in otherwise low-risk women presenting with symptoms of acute coronary syndrome.
