Hi,
Shortness of breath can have a variety of causes like cardiac causes and respiratory causes. To rule out cardiac cause you have to go for ECG & 2D Echo. As the angiography has already been done, I expect that they have already done ECG and echo which rules out cardiac cause. Other cause include respiratory cause which can be detected by Chest x-ray. So get these tests done to go for further management plan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks,
Dr Sameer Maheshwari
