An angiogram is a medical imaging technique used to visualize blood vessels and the heart's chambers. It involves injecting a contrast dye into the blood vessels, which allows them to be seen clearly on X-ray images. This helps doctors identify blockages, aneurysms, or other abnormalities in the blood vessels. In India, the incidence of coronary angiography varies depending on the specific context and population studied. Studies on coronary artery ectasia (CAE), a condition where arteries are dilated, show a prevalence ranging from 1.9% to 10% in some Indian cohorts. For patients undergoing angioplasty, an estimated 450,000 procedures are performed annually in India. Additionally, studies have reported varying rates of coronary artery disease (CAD) prevalence, with some showing it ranging from 2.5% to 12.6% in urban areas and 1.4% to 4.6% in rural areas
