When is it needed?
- Chest pain on exertion (angina)
- An abnormal ECG, echo or stress test
- After a heart attack
- Before some major surgeries, when advised by the cardiologist
How we treat it at Aarogyavaram
- Local anaesthesia at the wrist or groin
- Procedure takes about 20–30 minutes
- If a critical blockage is found, angioplasty may be done in the same sitting after discussion
Recovery & what to expect
Most patients go home the same or next day. The wrist band is removed after a few hours; avoid heavy lifting with that arm for a few days.
Cashless & insurance
Many of these treatments are covered under Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) packages, the UP State Employees cashless scheme and health insurance policies. Aarogyavaram is cashless with 16 insurers and 10 TPAs — our TPA desk confirms your cover at admission. See all cashless partners →
Frequently asked questions
Is angiography painful?
Only a small needle prick with local anaesthesia; you remain awake and comfortable.
Is it the same as angioplasty?
No. Angiography is the test; angioplasty is the treatment that opens a blockage.
