Coronary angiogramCoronary angiogram is a procedure to view the coronary arteries, to work out which ones may have narrowed and in the case of a heart attack the location of the blocked vessel. Also called catheterisation. Visit this great site by St Vincent's Hospital about Angiograms https://www.svhhearthealth.com.au/procedures/procedures-treatments/coronary-angiogram | |
Coronary arteriesCoronary arteries : The blood vessels that supply the heart are called coronary arteries; they sit on the surface of the heart. They are approximately the size of a charging cable. My Heart, My Life Booklet One chapter one has a good image of coronary arteries.

Coronary heart diseaseCoronary heart disease : Occurs when a coronary artery clogs and narrows because of a build-up of plaque. This can lead to a heart attack and/or angina. My Heart, My Life Booklet One chapter one contains good images to help explain this. | |
ECG - electrocardiogram testAn electrocardiogram test (ECG) will give a picture of the electrical flow through the heart and give us information if a particular location in the heart has an issue. | |
