Coronary angiography is a diagnostic heart test used to examine the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart. During the procedure, doctors inject a special contrast dye into the coronary arteries through a thin catheter, usually inserted through an artery in the wrist or groin.

X-ray imaging then allows doctors to see whether the arteries are narrowed or blocked. The test can help doctors assess possible coronary artery disease and decide whether further treatment, such as medicines, angioplasty or stenting, may be needed.
