I'm curious if heart angioscopy can diagnose all heart issues. Can it detect problems with both valves and arteries? I'm really anxious to know.

In heart angiography, doctors can visualize the blood flow in the coronary arteries to check for blockages or narrowing that may indicate coronary artery disease. However, heart angiography does not directly assess heart valve problems. To evaluate heart valve problems, doctors may use other tests such as echocardiography.
