Is Angiography Considered a Surgery Procedure?

Angiography is a diagnostic procedure, not a surgery. It involves using imaging techniques to visualize blood vessels, often to identify issues like blockages or abnormalities. Symptoms prompting this test may include chest pain or unexplained fatigue. Causes could range from atherosclerosis to congenital heart defects. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically involves inserting a thin tube into a blood vessel. If you’re experiencing concerning symptoms, it’s important to consult a cardiologist. They can assess your situation and determine if angiography or another approach is necessary for your health.
