What are the risks for an angiography if the patient has high blood pressure and diabetes?

Most of the patients who undergo angiography have high blood pressure anyway. There is no problem with that. Angiography is done by injecting a dye and looking into the arteries patency using x-ray or CT. It is also no problem for diabetics. You have to inform the doctor or the nurse assisting the angiography that you are diabetic so they can monitor your blood sugar level. You have to keep an eye on the site where the puncture is done. Make sure that is healing nicely and free moisture. Source(s): nurse
Depends on how high the BP is. If deemed too excessively high they won't do any type of non-emergency surgery until it's within reason.

The risks are no more for you then for any other patient. We have patients who have high blood pressure all the time. If for some reason our patient was told not to take his BP med and he came in with an elevated pressure we would just give them some BP meds IV (so they would work faster).

If you have diabetes, then if you take Glucophage (Metformen..not sure if I spelled that one right), then your doctor will tell you not to take it 48 to 72 hours after the procedure. There were some x-ray contrast (dye) and Glucophage reactions after the procedure. I heard it caused a few fatalities. Your doc will prescribe some insulin for a couple of days. Good luck if you are having an angiogram.
