Your echocardiography report is normal I suppose If your ECG too is normal then you need to go for TMT or stress echocardiography before angiography
If your ecg is absolutely normal then you can go for stress echocardiography
Next Steps
If you have got ready for the angiography then you have to withhold acitrom for the INR to drop to 1.4
Health Tips
But before angiography stress test can be done
