b. Atypical patients with borderline positive stress tests should have arteriography
Patients with typical angina and ECG changes should have angiography only if they are refractory to medical management and/or a candidate for revascularization. Patients with atypical signs and symptoms should have angiography to confirm or exclude the diagnosis. Patients with valve disease and risk of coronary artery disease should have angiography but patients awaiting cardiac transplantation are not candidates for revascularization and do not require coronary angiography.
