Coronary Angiogram |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Coronary angiography, the X-ray examination of the heart after the injection of a radiopaque dye or contrast medium, is used to detect the presence and extent of coronary disease. Areas blocked by atherosclerotic plaque appear as dark spots that interrupt the path of an artery. This angiogram shows a blockage in the coronary artery along the upper surface of the heart. | ||||||
