Angiogram concerns

Angiogram concerns

Hi
My father is having some tests done by the hospital at the moment, he had an appointment last week where the nurse told him he had about a 1 in 2000 chance of a heart attack.  Does this mean he is likely to suffer a heart attack or is this a low risk?  He is booked in for an angiogram this week.  He hates hospitals and never asks the doctors/nurses to explain their findings to him, instead comes home and worries about it.  If someone can tell me if the 1 in 2000 is low or high risk i would be grateful.
thanks
