Cardiac Catheterization & Angiography

Accurate Coronary Artery Diagnosis at EPIC Heart & Vascular Center

At EPIC Heart & Vascular Center, we provide expert Cardiac Catheterization and Angiography near you to diagnose heart conditions with precision. Our experienced, board-certified cardiologists perform this minimally invasive procedure to evaluate blood flow, detect blockages, and determine the best treatment plan for your heart health.

What Is Cardiac Catheterization & Angiography?

Cardiac Catheterization is a procedure in which a thin, flexible tube (catheter) is inserted through a blood vessel into the heart to assess how well your heart is functioning. Coronary Angiography is often performed during this procedure by injecting contrast dye to visualize blood flow in the coronary arteries via X-ray imaging.

 

Common Reasons for Cardiac Catheterization:
Chest pain or pressure

  • Suspected coronary artery disease (CAD)
  • Abnormal stress test or echocardiogram
  • Shortness of breath or reduced exercise tolerance
  • Evaluation before heart surgery or stent placement
  • Post-heart attack evaluation

How the Cardiac Cath & Angiography Test Works

During the procedure, a catheter is inserted through the groin or wrist and gently guided to the heart. A contrast dye is injected to highlight the coronary arteries, allowing cardiologists to pinpoint narrowed or blocked arteries. The entire process is performed in a specialized cath lab, typically taking 30–60 minutes, and is followed by a short recovery period.
