Question: Dear Sir/Ma'am,
70 year old male patient has visited the hospital with complaints of dizzines 3-4 days back. Cardiologist advised for Angiography. He is 70, and has undergone PTCA in 2014 only. He had Triple vessel disease, and h/o HTN.

Kindly refer to the detailed answer below
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that being a cardiac patient and post angioplasty patient is presenting with complain of dizziness and there is no hypotension but heart is 61bpm. Most likely his attending cardiologist is expecting restenosis in RCA branch which can lead to bradycardia and dizziness.
So it’s recommended for the patient to undergo check Angiogram for proper evaluation of the disease.
Hopefully this information will guide you properly.
Kind Regards
