If you have stable angina (pain when walking up the stairs) that would indicate there is some vessel blackage that would either be substantiated or dismissed. Angiogram should have provided the doctor with some knowledge to the degree of blockage.
Do you take nitro for the chest pain? If that medication provides relief from pain that would be a good indication vessel stenosis exists, and the nitro dilates the vessels enough to stop angina.
