Heart attack

2021-10-26 18:21:03
Hello sir/mam My mother is a diabetic patient from 2006 and recently in the last week of September she had gone through a minor heart attack. Now she is better but doctor has recommended me that there may be chance of blockage in her heart . He suggested me  to do angiography for her . But i am in doubt to do angiography so could anyone please suggest me the more safer treatment so that i can know whether she has any blockage in her heart or not? Its a most humble request kindly suggest me the right path.

There is no other way to look for blockages in heart vessels. You have to do Angiography and if she has had a heart attack you should do it soon
