Doctor said there is some issue in ECHO test, Doctor is insisting for angiography. Should I go for Anfiograohy and Angioplasty for my Father
Brief Answer:
Looking at the results of reports yes
Detailed Answer:
Looking at the impression of reports you have shared it looks like there is need for angiogram. However if he is not having symptoms and if TMT is only mildly positive there can be option of going for medical management alone. But that decision can taken only after reviewing and interviewing patient carefully and seeing the report by myself. Request you to see along with patient and take opinion from one more cardiologist in person.
