I just had this procedure done yesterday at St. Francis Hospital on Long Island, NY. My doctor, as well as every staff member I encountered, was professional and courteous with my comfort being the utmost priority. It was a very easy procedure and virtually painless. I have slight tenderness in the right groin area and am still a bit tired today. And received great news too.

Hello,i need an answer for one question please. Before doing an Angiogram,can i take a GTN Pill (Nitroglycerine)? Would it hamper the results of the angiogram test? My problem is that i cannot lay flat,cause i start getting chest pains.My hospital postponed my last test because i was getting pains.

I have no choice but to have it done shortly. I have congenital Mitral Valve issues, and been having fainting episodes and vision loss. I might be needing a valve replacement, so I need this done to see if I need that surgery done now. I know there are risks, but there's also a risk in not acting, while my body is clearly telling me there's something really wrong going on.

This the the WORST procedure I have ever had in my life! I have had several heart attacks due to blood clots and had an angiogram done. I will NEVER have another one!!! The pain when they stab the catheter into your groin is like no other. I was also bruised from my navel to my knee and was unable to stand up and walk for nearly 2 months! Just an FYI.....they do NOT numb you or knock you out! They simply rub a disinfectant on the area and STAB it in while you are awake!

im about to go and have this done in an hour, my cardiologist wants to give me a pacemaker for severe symptomatic bradycardia (heart rate of 30-40 bpm during the rest phase of every activity) but since it will mess up my military career he suggested me try this to see if they can find y i am having the problems
