Hi doctor,
Can you tell me within how many days angiography must be done after a heart attack?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
After a heart attack, angiography should be done within the first 24 hours. But, if it is not done and if the patient is on thrombolytic medicines like streptokinase medicine, and no symptoms, then it can be delayed. There is no exact time, but it is better to get it done as soon as possible. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
