the doctor said my dadi should be admitted for a angioplasty. what do you suggest?

Jon is 100% correct. The doctor is going to do what he thinks is best for her medically. You can go for the second opninion but odds are they are going to error on the side of caution and suggest the angioplasty. We are all scared when we learn of this type of stuff but we have to meet it head on.

I think that her doctor has a better understanding of what is best. No one here is qualified to interpret these numbers and tell you what is best. You can try posting on the Expert Forum, a cardiologist will look at it but I doubt if the doctors here would go against her doctor's opinion without being able to see a better history. You can always get a second opinion if you are unsure.

Good luck,

Jon
