Hi, thanks for using health care magic
Angiography would look at the blood vessels supplying the heart to see if there is any blockage.If a significant blockage is identified then stenting may be done to keep the vessel open.
In addition to the above test, the doctor may suggest an echo which may also provide information such as the size and function.
Hope this helps
