Doctors will insert a Sheath via guide wire through Catheter into the blood vessels which is plotted from radial artery or femoral artery, inject contrast to coronary arteries, the doctor will check the blood flow and pressure of the heart chambers.and identity the blockages

  2. Echocardiogram:-It uses sound waves which records the structure and motion of the heart. It determines the contraction and relaxation of the heart muscles and poor blood flow.

  3. Stress test:-It will determine the performance of heart under different levels of stress formation, also known as treadmiller test. It helps the doctor to find out how the heart hold the work. Understand ther activities of heart

Here, Echocardiography is the most suitable method for the evaluation of the patients with congestive heart failure. Very easy and non in vasive Procedure,It is a semi quantitative test which analyse the functions of left ventricle and evaluate the abnormalities of the valves. It includes the systolic function of the left ventricle, diastolic function of the left ventricle, and the structure and functions of left and right ventricle.
