My cardiologist recommended an angiogram when I started having chest pain during my usual exercise routine. I was in the midst of an NSTEMI (unstable angina by then) when the test day arrived. They found my RCA was narrowed in 2 areas…so received 2 stents.

One way is when you have an angiogram, they can see the plaque inside your artery, and then they can decide to put a stent in right there and then.
