4. Angiography: - During Angiography Doctor found appx 90% blockage in 2 heart Arterial and whereas for the 3rd Arterial 70% blockage exists.

The existing diseases with the patients are
1. Diabetics: - is in control with exercise

Presently even in the past there are no symptoms with the patient relating to heart problem like Chest Pain, Respiratory Disturbance, Nausea, Weakness:, Verbal Disruptions:, Blindness etc.The patient is age is 70 yrs.
As per doctor the patient should go with Angioplasty with stunt for arterial (with 90% blockage ) and for the 3rd one will take care by medicine.
I would need your expert advise here ..is there really need to go with the Angioplasty or we should go for re-checkups.
