Schedule an Angiogram
A coronary angiography is the gold standard for diagnosing blockages in the arteries supplying the heart. Dr. Kabra typically recommends this procedure if you are experiencing high-risk warning signs or irregular test results:
Experiencing recurrent angina (chest pressure or squeezing) that radiates to the jaw, neck, or arm, especially during physical activity.
If a treadmill stress test, ECG, or echocardiogram shows irregularities in your heart's rhythm or blood flow, an angiogram is needed to pinpoint the exact issue.
For patients who have recently survived a heart attack or are experiencing sudden, severe shortness of breath, an angiogram identifies the critical blockages immediately.
Traditionally, an angiogram involved threading a catheter through the femoral artery in the groin, requiring patients to lie flat for several hours to prevent heavy bleeding. Dr. Kabra is a recognized expert in Radial Angiography, performing the procedure through a small artery in your wrist.
You remain awake and comfortable. Dr. Kabra numbs the small area on your wrist (radial artery) with a local anesthetic, ensuring the process is virtually painless.
A thin, highly flexible tube (catheter) is carefully guided up to your heart. A special, iodine-based contrast dye is then injected into the coronary arteries through the catheter.
As the dye flows, rapid X-ray images (fluoroscopy) capture detailed, real-time video of your blood vessels. This allows Dr. Kabra to see exactly where and how severe the blockages are, formulating a precise treatment plan.
An angiography is a delicate diagnostic procedure requiring a highly experienced hand to navigate the arteries safely and interpret the complex imaging accurately.

"I was dreading the angiogram because I had heard horror stories about lying flat for 6 hours with a groin puncture. Dr. Kabra performed it through my wrist. It was painless, and I was sitting in a chair having tea an hour later. The best angiography specialist in Jaipur, hands down."
