Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Angiography is needed to rule out coronary artery disease (CAD).
So doctor is suspecting cardiac chest pain in your mother's case.
Normal ecg is seen in many patients with underlying heart disease.
In my opinion, she should undergo stress test (trade mill test) first, before going to angiography.
If stress test is normal, no need for angiography.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
