Best Coronary Angioplasty Surgeons in Banashankari 2nd Stage

A Coronary Angiogram is a specialized diagnostic procedure used to visualize the coronary arteries, which supply blood to your heart. It helps detect blockages, narrowing, or abnormalities in the arteries that could lead to angina, heart attacks, or other cardiac issues.

With over 20,000+ angiograms performed, Dr. PavanKumar P Rasalkar brings unmatched expertise in performing safe, accurate, and minimally invasive coronary assessments—backed by international standards and compassionate care.

Why You May Need a Coronary Angiogram

Your cardiologist may recommend this test if you experience:

• Chest pain or tightness (angina)

• Shortness of breath or reduced stamina

• Abnormal results in tests like ECG, ECHO, or TMT

• A previous heart attack

• Before undergoing cardiac surgery or intervention

• Family history or risk factors for heart disease

What to Expect During the Procedure

• A thin catheter is inserted via the groin or wrist

• Contrast dye is injected into the coronary arteries

• Real-time X-ray imaging (fluoroscopy) captures blood flow

• The cardiologist assesses plaque build-up or blockages

• The procedure typically takes 15–30 minutes

• You may go home the same day or after a short observation
