sites due to electrical activity of the heart is
called as “LEAD”.

y Unipolar leads
(a) Action potentials recorded from normal (solid lines) and

leads): ECG is recorded by using two electrodes such that
the final trace corresponds to the difference of electrical
potentials existing between them.

Precordial leads: Unipolar Chest Leads


y It employs an exploring electrode to record the potential of
the heart action on the chest at six different positions.

Angiogram
Angiography is performed for a variety of reasons,
including:
y Detection of occlusions of blood vessels, in patients with
chest pain and suspected as having heart disease.
y For a possible tear in a blood vessel and bleeding.
y Organ tumours can be diagnosed and surgical therapy can be
planned

Angiogram
What is Angiogram?
y The radiologic examination of vessels after the
introduction of a contrast medium.
y It is an imaging test that uses x-rays to produce the road
map of body’s blood vessels.
y Physicians often use this test to study narrow, blocked,
enlarged, or malformed arteries or veins in many parts of
your body, including your brain, heart, abdomen, and legs.
y When the arteries are studied, the test is also called an
arteriogram, if the veins are studied, it is called a venogram

Angiogram
Hand Arteriogram How is the procedure done?
y During this procedure also known as
coronary angiography, the patient is
positioned on an x-ray table.
y Depending on the condition of the
arteries, either the under arm or groin
area will be disinfected and then numbed
with an anesthetic.
y A long, narrow tube (catheter) is then
inserted into a large artery (in either the
upper leg or upper arm) and gently
threaded up into the coronary arteries
around the heart muscle.
91 Sardar Patel Institute of Technology 22-Aug-19 92 Sardar Patel Institute of Technology 22-Aug-19
Angiogram Angiogram
y A special type of dye that is visible on x-rays is then
released from the catheter and the x-rays are then taken
of the heart and surrounding vessels.
y The doctor will review the x-rays taken during the
angiogram to pinpoint the location and severity of any
narrowing or blockages within the coronary arteries.
y If a blockage is found, the doctor can then determine the
best way to remove the blockage material or dilate
(widen) the narrowed blood vessel(s)

Types of Angiograms Angiogram


Benefits of Angiogram:
y Shows no of coronary arteries blocked by fatty plaque
accumulations
y Pinpoint the area of blockages located in the blood vessels
y Indicate the extent ( %) of blockages
y Also eliminates the need for surgery. If surgery remains
necessary, it can be performed more accurately.
y It presents a very detailed, clear and accurate picture of the
blood vessels. This is especially helpful when a surgical
procedure is being considered.
