Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, you should make her convince fir coronary angiography (catheterization).
Her routine ecg and other reports must have shown possible blockage in heart vessels.
If untreated, these blocks can be fatal and life threatening.
So without taking any chances, I advice you to convince her for angiography.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your wife. Thanks.
