Joyce’s admission relates to being out in the garden this morning with her son Peter Rogers (NOK), when she suddenly complained of chest pain and collapsed on the ground. Previously that morning she had commented on feeling ‘dizzy and not herself’. She only lost conscious for approximately one minute and was responding shortly after her collapse but was notably short of breath when her son returned to the house to get his mobile to call an ambulance. The ambulance arrived and brought her to hospital.
Joyce had some blood and an ECG taken which showed abnormalities. It was decided that Mrs Rogers was to have an angiogram due to her known predisposing heart condition and the symptoms she was experiencing.
Outline what an angiogram is and why it is to be done?
