Abstract
Coronary angiography is an invasive procedure that utilises X-ray imaging and contrast medium to visualise the coronary vasculature to guide management. Current National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidance aims to provide angiography within 72-hours for patients with high-risk (GRACE>3%) non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and patients with late-presenting (>12 hours) ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
