Various factors: Depends upon the type, site and number of blockages and the also the heart pump function. Also depends on whether or not medical therapy has improved your symptoms and the degree of functional limitation you are experiencing. A detailed discussion with your cardiologist after your coronary angiogram is the best way to proceed.
