Koronarografie

Koronarografie is a medical imaging technique used to visualize the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart muscle. It is a minimally invasive procedure that provides detailed images of the coronary arteries, helping to diagnose and assess the severity of coronary artery disease. The procedure involves injecting a contrast dye into the coronary arteries and using X-ray imaging to capture images of the arteries as the dye flows through them. Koronarografie is commonly used to evaluate the extent of coronary artery blockages, assess the effectiveness of angioplasty or stent placement, and plan surgical interventions. It is typically performed using a catheter inserted into a blood vessel in the leg or arm and guided to the heart. The procedure is generally safe and well-tolerated, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort. Koronarografie is an essential tool in the diagnosis and management of coronary artery disease, helping to improve patient outcomes and reduce the risk of heart attacks.
