Hi
Breathlessness and later passing stool suggests that he might have gone into sudden vasovagal shock after some smaller cardiac event.
Sudden onset of breathlessness, the cause should be ruled out.
Echo & ecg sometimes do not depict, ischaemic changes, in that case angiogram is the best procedure to rule out any cardiac associated problem.
Thereby I would suggest you to go for it.
All the best
Take care
