Does cardiography hurt?

A cardiographic

examination is performed by puncturing an artery in the patient's hand or leg, injecting contrast medium into the heart, and then performing an X-ray examination to determine the condition of the heart. The catheter is passed through the artery and usually does not cause damage to the artery wall, so it does not cause severe pain. Since the puncture is required before the examination, there may be slight pain, but the patient can be punctured under local anesthesia to reduce discomfort.

There is no need for excessive worry and tension during the examination to prevent normal examination.
