During coronary angiography, special dye is released into the bloodstream. The dye makes the coronary arteries visible on x-ray pictures. This helps doctors see blockages in the arteries. A procedure called cardiac catheterization (KATH-eh-ter-ih-ZA-shun) is used to get the dye into the coronary arteries. For this procedure, a thin, flexible tube called a catheter is put into a blood vessel in your arm, groin (upper thigh), or neck.

Coronary angiography is often done along with cardiac catheterization. This is a procedure which measures pressures in the heart chambers. Before the test starts, you will be given a mild sedative to help you relax.
