(47 cards)
It receives oxygen-poor blood
from the body and pumps it
to the right ventricle.
Right atrium
pumps the oxygen-poor
blood to the lungs.
Right ventricle
receives oxygen-rich blood
from the lungs and pumps it
to the left ventricle.
Left atrium
pumps the oxygen-rich blood
to the body.
Left ventricle
supplies blood to the right ventricle, the right atrium, and the SA (sinoatrial) and AV (atrioventricular) nodes, which regulate the heart rhythm.
Right Coronary Artery
supplies blood to the left side of the heart muscle (the left ventricle and left atrium).
Left Main Coronary Artery (LMCA)
supplies blood to the front of the left side of the heart.
Left Anterior Descending Artery
encircles the heart muscle, supplies blood to the outer side and back of the heart.
Left Circumflex Artery
A test that uses X-rays to look at the heart’s blood vessels, called the coronary arteries.
Coronary Angiography
Usually done to see if a blood vessel is narrowed or blocked.
Coronary Angiography
Coronary Angiography is usually done to diagnose what pathology most often?
Coronary Artery Disease
Indication of Coronary Angiography
• Chest pain
• Blood vessel problems
• A heart problem you were born with (congenital heart defect)
Irregular results on an exercise stress test
• Chest injury
• Heart valve disease that needs surgery
Contraindications of Coronary Angiography
• Coagulopathy
• Stroke
• Pregnancy
• Active infection
• Renal Failure
• Contrast medium allergy
Equipments and Materials used in Coronary Angiography
• Sterile drapes
• Heparinized saline
• Anesthetic
• Guidewire
• Puncture needle

Preparation for Coronary Angiography
• Informed Consent
• NPO for 4-6 hours
• No heparin 2-3 days before the procedure
• Shave the insertion site
• Normal creatinine levels
Normal creatinine level for Male
0.9 - 1.3 mg/Dl
Normal creatinine level for Female
0.7 - 1.1 mg/Dl
Risk of Coronary Angiography
• Blood vessel injury
• Excessive bleeding
• Heart attack
• Irregular heart rhythms, called arrhythmias
• Kidney damage due to the dye used during the test
• Reactions to the dye or medicines used during the test
• Stroke
