Doc adviced angiography, want to know is it necessary ? also he has high cholestrol levels and BP prob though BP is under control through medication
Yes you should definitely consult cardiologist and get done coronary angiography. Since report shows more than 1 mm st depression, this is significant and shows ischemia under stress. And you are also telling that his cholesterol s are also high and since 92 he is suffering from hypertension so he is likely to have atherosclerosis and for this angiography is needed.
