Dear sir, first I need you to to know that being a 72 year old diabetic person is a high risk for coronary artery disease. To understand the coronary anatomy of your father we need to do a coronary angiogram. Don't be frightened, it is a very important test. If normal we will be able to relax. If he needs treatment then we have a good idea as to what is the best.
