  • Echocardiogram EKG – To detect electrical activity in the heart.
  • Coronary Artery Calcium Scan – To evaluate how much calcium is deposited in the arteries of the heart.
  • Coronary Angiography – It is used to detect the blood flow by using X-rays that are contrasted with some dye to see the flow of the blood in the arteries.
  • Echocardiogram – It is used to see the clear structure of the heart.

During Angioplasty

  • The procedure of angioplasty is started after giving local anesthesia to the patient.
  • Now the doctor cleaned and searched the right wrist where it got numb due to the effect of anesthesia.
  • A small cut is made on the numb wrist to insert a thin catheter (form of plastic tube) through the skin to insert it into the arteries of the blood vessels.
  • Through blood vessels this plastic thin catheter is reached to the heart.
  • Once a catheter is reached to the heart then a dye is injected to locate any blockages with the help of fluoroscopy.
  • Now inflate the balloon to open up blocked arteries. This helps to move out plaque and clear the way to flow of the blood more smoothly when deflated balloon gets removed

After Angioplasty

  • After completing the procedure, a healthcare provider suggested taking complete bed rest up to 8 hours.
