Cardiac angiography mainly involves inserting a catheter into the human body's aorta and then injecting contrast agent for observation. However, most contrast agents use iodine, so they are likely to cause allergies and may also affect the kidneys. Cardiac angiography is used to detect whether the patient is eligible for heart bypass surgery. If the patient does not want to undergo heart bypass surgery, then there is no need for this examination.

What are the precautions after cardiac angiography?

1. Dietary precautions after cardiac angiography: After cardiac angiography, patients need to increase their water intake appropriately, so as to promote the elimination of residual contrast agent in the body and prevent contrast agent-induced kidney damage. In terms of diet, you should also pay more attention to a low-fat diet, eat more green vegetables and fresh fruits, and it is best not to exceed 100 grams of meat per day to avoid increasing the burden on the heart. In addition, tobacco, alcohol and other items that are harmful to the body are strictly prohibited. 2. Precautions for medication after cardiac angiography: If necessary, some doctors will recommend patients to use protamine to counteract heparin, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of complications such as thrombosis. However, during use, protamine must be diluted with heparin and then injected slowly to avoid complications. 3. Precautions for rest after cardiac angiography: After the operation, the patient needs to rest in bed for a day. If the patient had a puncture, the limbs of the patient should not move for about 12 hours. In addition, within one month after the operation, the patient should refrain from sexual intercourse, exercise and other intense activities. When bathing, take a shower instead of a tub bath.
