2. Coronary catheterization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_catheterization

   Coronary angiography of a critical sub-occlusion of the common trunk of the left coronary artery and the circumflex artery. (See arrows) During coronary catheterization (often referred to as a "cath" or "cardiac cath" by physicians), blood pressures are recorded and fluoroscopy ( X-ray motion picture ) shadow-grams of the blood inside the ...

3. 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.

4. Diagnosis of myocardial infarction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnosis_of_myocardial...

   In difficult cases or in situations where intervention to restore blood flow is appropriate, coronary angiography can be performed. A catheter is inserted into an artery (typically the radial or femoral artery [21]) and pushed to the vessels supplying the heart. A radio-opaque dye is administered through the catheter and a sequence of x-rays ...

5. Interventional cardiology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interventional_cardiology

   Coronary angiography and angioplasty in acute myocardial infarction (left: Right Coronary Artery [RCA] closed, right: successfully dilated) Interventional cardiology is a branch of cardiology that deals specifically with the catheter based treatment of structural heart diseases.

6. Angiography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angiography

   After an angiogram, a sudden shock can cause a little pain at the surgery area, but heart attacks and strokes usually do not occur, as they may in bypass surgery. The risk of complications from angiography can be reduced with a prior CT scan by providing clinicians with more information about number and positioning of the clots in advance. [19 ...

7. Cardiac catheterization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_catheterization

   Cardiac catheterization (heart cath) is the insertion of a catheter into a chamber or vessel of the heart.This is done both for diagnostic and interventional purposes. A common example of cardiac catheterization is coronary catheterization that involves catheterization of the coronary arteries for coronary artery disease and myocardial infarctions ("heart attacks").
