HI
Thank for asking to HCM
No it is not because of the angioplasty, but could be allergic cough, or could be drug induced, if it is allergic then will go away soon and if it is because of drug then then such drug should be stopped ( ACE) inhibitor is such drug which can induce the cough, take care of your father bye
