Dear Mrs,
If you don't have chest pain on physical exertion and no family history of heart attack, then the possibility is quite low that you will have blocked arteries.
I would rather go for further non invasive tests, such as stress echo or nuclear stress test than angiography in case of high cardiovascular risk.
In case of no family history and no angina, I wouldn't continue any other test.
Hope I could help you
Wishing you a good health
