    What is an angiogram?


    Cardiovascular disease is one of the biggest health problems in the UK today, leading to heart attacks, strokes, and a range of other complications. Angiograms are used to assess the health of the blood vessels and the heart, so that preventative action, such as surgery, can be taken.


    An angiogram uses a dye to make the blood visible on x-ray images as it flows through the major blood vessels and the heart. It can show where the flow of blood is impeded by blockages or narrowing of the vessels, and can also show how effectively the heart is pumping the blood, and how well the valves are working.


    This article on angiogram / angiogram procedure is written by Jackie Griffiths, a freelance journalist who writes health, medical, biological, and pharmaceutical articles for national and international journals, newsletters and web sites.
