Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
Yes you are right, other examinations are needed before deciding about angiography (heart catheterisation). Angiography should be done directly if you have myocardial infarction otherwise you should do the following examinations before going for angiography:
- Cardiac ECHO
- Stress test
- Cardiac MRI or CT angiography
Hope this was of help!
Wish you health!
