The duration of a coronary angiography for coronary heart disease depends on the patient's specific condition. If arterial stenosis or abnormalities are found during the procedure, requiring repeated puncture, the examination time will be prolonged. Additionally, factors such as aortic tortuosity or coronary artery rupture may also extend the procedure time. Coronary angiography is primarily an invasive imaging test of the heart's coronary arteries, used to diagnose coronary heart disease or suspected cases of coronary heart disease.
