My 68 year old father had a slight chest discomfort and we went to meet the doctor. Ecg echo came out showing no problem but the stress test / treadmill test had a slight discomfort/ pressure in the chest area which eased after stopping. Angiogram was suggested though ecg and echo did not have any issues. How important is angio and how safe is it.
