Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable with my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect isn't very noticeable. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. I'm asking, how should coronary angiography be treated?Doctor's answer:
Coronary angiography carries certain risks. Firstly, the contrast agent needs to be injected, and some patients may be allergic to the contrast agent. Therefore, a skin test for the contrast agent is required before the examination. Secondly, a catheter needs to be inserted into the aorta during the examination, and the contrast agent is then injected into the aorta through the catheter. The shape of the blood vessels and heart is then examined under X-ray. However, it may also lead to discomfort in the chest area or arrhythmia. Currently, angiography technology is very mature. If it is truly necessary, it is recommended to follow the doctor's advice for examination and treatment.
