Help one year a go i had a heart cath done negative for any blockage a new doctor i seen twice he whants to do another one is it a good id or not
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It is highly unlikely that another cath will uncover new blockages if the one performed last year was truly angiographically normal. If additional evaluation is required, such as for spasm, then it may not be unreasonable. However, this sounds a little off.
