If you don't have any symptoms like exertional chest pain or breathlessness then no need for angiography. Consult with your lipid profile report to know if you need medicines or not.

If your cholesterol is not controlled by lifestyle measures, start medicines. No need of CT angiography if you don't have chest pain or breathlessness.
