An X-ray is used during a coronary angiogram test to examine the coronary arteries, which are the blood vessels that supply the heart. Usually, the goal is to determine whether a blood vessel is blocked or narrowed. The most common method for diagnosing coronary artery disease is a coronary angiogram.

It can be used to:

  • Identify a blocked or narrowed artery.
  • Learn how much blood flow to or from the heart is reduced.
  • Determine if there’s a build-up of fats, cholesterol and other substances in and on the artery walls, a condition called atherosclerosis.
  • Check the results of previous heart surgery.

Prepping for an angiogram:

  • No diabetic medication from night before.
  • Take high bp and cholesterol medication as normal.
  • Stop warfarin, xarelto, pradaxa & apixiban 3 days before.
  • Eat 4 hours before procedure and very light.
  • Shave groin area.
  • Procedure takes about ½ hour.
  • Stay 4 hours after for observation.
  • No driving after.
  • Walk with a form of ID.
  • Walk with all medical records.
  • A creatinine level blood work is required for an angiogram.

An angioplasty is a procedure used to clear coronary artery blockages brought on by CAD disease. Without requiring open cardiac surgery, it restores blood flow to the heart muscle. In an emergency situation, such as a heart attack, angioplasty may be performed. If your doctor has a strong suspicion that you have heart disease, the procedure can also be performed as elective surgery. Another name for angioplasty is percutaneous coronary intervention. Nowadays, practically every angioplasty procedure uses a coronary stent. A tiny, expandable coil of metal mesh is called a stent. It is inserted into the section of the artery that has just opened in order to prevent the artery from constricting or closing off.

Angioplasty and Stenting can:

  • Relieve chest pain.
  • Relieve shortness of breath.
  • Lowers the risk of heart attack.
  • Less recovery time.

A small device called a pacemaker is used to treat certain arrhythmias. The heart may beat too quickly, too slowly, or irregularly when experiencing an arrhythmia. Electrical pulses are sent by pacemakers to assist the heart in beating normally. In order to improve the efficiency of your heart’s blood pumping to your body, pacemakers can also be used to help your heart’s chambers beat in sync. If you have heart failure, you might require this. You might have to spend a few hours or overnight in the hospital in order to receive a pacemaker. After you return home, your doctor might schedule routine check-ins with you to monitor the activity of your pacemaker and perform remote checks. Many pacemaker users are able to resume their normal activities.

Who needs Them?
Pacemaker for arrhythmias
The main reason patient’s get a pacemaker is because their heart beats too slowly (called bradycardia), or it stops, causing fainting spells or other symptoms. In some cases, the pacemaker may also be used to prevent or treat a heartbeat that is too fast (tachycardia) or irregular.

These problems may be caused by: 

  • Problems with electrical signaling in your heart
  • Beta blockers, which are medicines to lower blood pressure but also can slow your heartbeat too much. A pacemaker helps prevent a slow heartbeat when you need to keep taking this medicine. 
  • Certain congenital heart defects.
  • Heart attack.
  • Heart transplant.

Pacemakers for a weak heart
Pacemakers may also be used to assist your heart chambers beat in sync if your heart isn’t pumping enough blood to your body.

This can happen because of: 

  • Certain congenital heart defects.
  • Enlarged or thick heart muscle that makes it harder to pump blood out of your ventricles. 
  • Heart attack.
  • Heart failure.
