Yes: Yes, a coronary angiogram is the most widely used test to look for blockages in the arteries of the heart and to decide the best treatment option (medication only vs stent vs bypass surgery).

Three: There are three coronary arteries feeding the heart. They are not much wider than spaghetti, so they can get clogged easily. They must provide continuous oxygen and nutrients to the heart which is the size of your fist and beats 100, 000 times a day every day of your life.
