According to official data, in 2023, Romania recorded 600.8 cardiovascular-related deaths per 100,000 inhabitants — 2.5 times the EU average. Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading global cause of death, and early diagnosis is essential.

One of the most important diagnostic procedures is coronary angiography, also known as coronarography. This minimally invasive investigation provides detailed images of the coronary arteries, helping identify exact blockages or restrictions in blood flow. By using contrast substances and catheter-based imaging, doctors can determine if an artery is narrowed or obstructed, and, in some cases, perform angioplasty immediately by inserting a stent.

At CorePrime, the procedure is performed by experienced interventional cardiologists using state-of-the-art technology. Patients are awake during the investigation, and recovery is quick — most can go home the same day. Coronary angiography is especially important for patients with chest pain, abnormal stress tests, or high cardiovascular risk (smokers, diabetics, hypertensives).

The procedure not only ensures accurate diagnosis but can also prevent severe complications such as heart attacks or cardiac arrest. It is a crucial tool for timely, life-saving decisions.
