A family member had a heart attack 8 years ago. His doctor signed him up to have an angiogram/angiograph. Could you explain to me in detail about angiogram/angiograph and why should he need to have on done.
Q: What is the purpose of having an angiogram/angiograph done?

Hi Starfire21,
Great question! Please take a look at this article by our expert cardiologist, Dr. Davis, in which he does a very good review of heart scans and CT angiograms. I hope this helps!
