Welcome to HCM
Hello,coronary stenosis is caused due to the blockage to coronary artery which leads to heart attack,angiogram is a diagnostic test to find out where and how much block is present,it is advisable to get it done ,the risk involves
1. Bleeding, infection, and pain at the catheter insertion site.
2.An allergic reaction to the dye that’s used during the test.
Rarely
1.Arrhythmia
2.Stroke
3. Heart attack
tho there are some complication of angiogram not everyone have them and it is the best diagnostic tool
Thanks
