Angiography
My mother had undergone angioplasty in 2011..2 stents we're put in her arteries..she is on blood pressure medication and just started diabetes medication..her sugar levels are fasting 125 and ppbs is 180 after 2 hrs..developed diabetes 1 year ago.. recently she had an angina pain..today ecg was done and cadilogist said that in ecg it is showing inverted T wave pattern..he said it can be due to blockage and suggested to go for angiogram..other than that 1 episode of angina my mother is fine..she is active and healthy..my question is should we go for angiogram?? Does the ecg pattern means blockage is there? Or should we go for echo or tmt before angiography? Thanks in advance

Ur doctor has advised u the right thing . In patients with stents Ecg changes and chest pain best is to do check angiography rather than TMT.
