can you check the angiogram report and find out what was the ef%? Your pumping rate might have been very low and that is why they might have fitted pace maker. please visit www.noninvasivesolution.com for more help.
Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
The procedure done for you being a coronary angiography, it is the best procedure to visualize any blocks in the arterial supply of the heart,this is a part of the diagnosis.
You are on the accurate medicines which reduce the progression of atherosclerosis plaques/blocks and also prevent further damage.Aspirin does take care of the spasms as well as thins down any clots.
Do not worry, right course of action has been taken .
Wish you good health
