Angiocardiogram

An angiocardiogram is a method of studying the cardiovascular system that allows you to evaluate the functioning of the heart and blood vessels in real time. This method is based on the use of special equipment - an angiograph, which creates an image of blood vessels and the heart on a monitor screen.

An angiocardiogram allows you to identify various diseases of the heart and blood vessels, such as coronary heart disease, arterial hypertension, atherosclerosis, thrombosis and others. In addition, an angiocardiogram can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment for cardiovascular diseases.

To perform an angiocardiogram, a contrast agent is used, which is injected into the patient's vein. The patient then lies down on the table and the doctor begins scanning the heart and blood vessels using an angiograph. The image is created using X-rays that pass through the blood vessels and are reflected on a screen.

After an angiocardiogram, the doctor can assess the condition of the patient's heart and blood vessels, identify possible problems and determine the need for further examination or treatment. Angiocardiography is one of the most informative methods for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases and can help save the patient’s life.
