How should coronary angiography be treated?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling discomfort in 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'd like to ask, how should coronary angiography be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Coronary angiography carries certain risks. First, 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. Second, the contrast agent needs to be injected into the aorta through a catheter, and 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, the technology for contrast examination is very mature. If it is truly necessary, it is recommended to follow the doctor's advice for examination and treatment.
