Is Angio CT Scan Recommended To Test Multiple Pulmonary Nodules?

I have multiple pulmonary nodules, having had several chest ct last 2 years. Now will have another one. I am booked to have a angio ct, my choice but now feel reluctant due to so much radiation. I do not have cardiac symptoms but wanted to get checked due to heavy family history. Wondering if I should for go this angio ct.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if you do not have any symptoms which could suggest coronary angiography then no need to go for this but EKG can be tried instead, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
