A member asked:

Specializes in Medicina Interna

Symptoms?: The indication to get a "heart cath" (coronary angiography) would depend on your symptoms. Echocardiogram doesn't show coronary artery occlusion. It might show abnormal wall movement, which would suggest coronary artery occlusion.

During a stress test I was told I had inflammation and needed to get an echo. Afterwards I had an angiogram and that doctor said my heart was perfectly healthy and the inflammation wasn't the heart itself. Should I get an echo prior to my follow up?
