The Coronary Angiography Department is a medical service offered at Hospital Angeles León. This diagnostic imaging technique uses computed tomography to obtain detailed images of the coronary arteries. It is an effective tool for assessing the presence of blockages or narrowing in the heart’s arteries, which may indicate the presence of coronary artery disease.

During the procedure, a contrast agent is injected into the patient’s veins to highlight the coronary arteries in the images. A series of high-resolution images is then taken, allowing doctors to assess blood flow and detect any abnormalities in the arteries.

Coronary computed tomography angiography is a safe, non-invasive procedure that provides fast and accurate results. It is an alternative to invasive coronary angiography, which requires the insertion of a catheter into the heart’s arteries. Furthermore, coronary CT angiography involves no significant risks and does not require hospitalization.
