yes.
It is angiogram.

may display a narrowed blood vessel with decreased arterial blood flow (ischemia) or an irregular arrangement or location of blood vessels. The results of an angiogram vary widely by the type of procedure performed
which patient condition shouild not have an angiogram
An angiogram shows disease, narrowing or blockage of a blood vessel.
The site of the angiogram is needed in order to give the appropriate code.
My doctor told me 3 days.
If an angiogram is requested by a doctor then it is because they are concerned about the state of someone's heart and how well it is working. A good angiogram can show heart function.
You are likely referring to an angiogram. Angiogram means the 'recording' of any blood vessel, not necessarily coronary. I would say your best answer is 'coronary angiography' this is performed via a procedure called 'cardiac catheterization'
Yes, an endiogram is similar to an angiogram as both are imaging techniques used to visualize blood vessels. However, the term "endiogram" is less commonly used and may refer to specific types of endovascular imaging. In contrast, an angiogram specifically focuses on the blood vessels and is often performed using X-rays with contrast dye. Both procedures aid in diagnosing vascular conditions, but they may differ in technique and application.
With the advancement in CT there is almost no need to have an angiogram in a special procedures suite. We have whats called a CTA which is CT angiogram its much safer, much faster and, probably a lot cheaper as well.
