Hi,
First degree AV block is not dangerous. It is neither a contraindication nor an indication for angiography. Everything depends on patient complaints and underlying heart disease. From the medication you mentioned I could conclude that the patient has an underlying heart disease, which is more important that the block. So the further decision depends on that disease and not the block, which is not dangerous.
Take care
Come back if you have any further questions
