A member asked:
Is angiography dangerous if i have high blood pressure? im worried something might go wrong. could putting the tube (catheter?) in my blood vessels make my blood pressure go too high? or could my high blood pressure make me bleed too much?

Talk with Doctor: The interventional doctors who do the tests all the time will answer your concerns. I'm sure they have many, many patients with high blood pressure and they also take precautions after the test to prevent post op bleeding.
