An angiogram is a test done to understand the status of the Coronary Circulation,meaning study of the arteries of the heart and their status.It needs to be repeated only if there are symptoms like Chest discomfort or pain related to activity or otherwise.Since your Grandfather is physically very active and asymptomatic he does not need a test now.He should stop worrying and should enjoy his life
