My mother was having breathing issue. Doctors suggested to go for an angiography as there may be a possibility of blockage in the heart. She is a type 2 diabetic patient. Is it convenient for her to go for conventional angiography or is there any alternative to that.

MPI Radionuclide Scan, CT Angio and stress echocardiography are alternative tests. Avoid CT coronary angiography if there is high calcium score. This is a common problem when diabetes is for more than 2 years or if age is above 65.
