The substance injected during an angiography is called radionuclide.
Coughing or breathing deeply aids in any discomfort.
chronic heart failure is demonstrated by a cardiac catheterization or nuclear medicine study. During cardiac catheterization, the patient's cardiac function will be measured by cardiac output, ejection fraction and cardiovascular pressures.
During this time, the patient may experience a hot, flushed feeling or a quickly passing nausea.
Prior to inserting a catheter into an artery or vein in the arm or leg, the incision site will be made numb by injecting a local anesthetic.
using lead shielding in the form of blankets or pads over certain body parts and by choosing the appropriate dose during fluoroscopy.

A comparison of how much blood is ejected from the heart's left ventricle during its contraction phase with a measurement of blood remaining at the end of the left ventricle's relaxation phase.
A finding of impaired wall motion is an additional indicator of coronary artery disease, aneurysm, an enlarged heart, or a congenital heart problem.
