Hi..., yes angiography is safe at this time...
Left ventricular Ejection fraction is most commonly measured using echocardiography. This non-invasive technique provides good estimates of end-diastolic (EDV) and end-systolic volumes (ESV)..... The ejection fraction is an indicator of the heart's health. If the heart is diseased from a heart attack or another heart condition, the ejection fraction may decrease...Kindly consult your Cardiologist for further advice....
