Your cardiologist has advised a coronary angiogram (angiography) and you’re asking the most common question I hear in clinic:
“Doctor… do I really need an angiogram?”

In this video, I’m Dr. Ameya Amonkar (Cardiologist) and I explain—calmly and clearly:

✅ When an angiogram is NOT needed
✅ When it is strongly recommended
✅ When it becomes mandatory (heart attack / unstable angina)
✅ Does angiography automatically mean a stent? (No.)
✅ Does angioplasty have to be done immediately—or can it wait?
✅ Where CT coronary angiography fits (and where it doesn’t)

???? The goal is not to “avoid angiography.”
The goal is the right test, at the right time, for the right patient.
