What Does The Report Say And Do I Need To Go For An Angiogram?

Dear Sir, I am a 45 year old male having wife and 10 year old son as dependants. I work in a small Private firm in Kolkata. For the last 2 and half months I was having upper abdominal discomfort which used to go with the use of gas medicines but only to return back quickly. Finally on 04.11.2012, I consulted a GP, who himself conducted an ECG and asked me to immediately consultant a Cardiologist. I consulted Dr. K.B. Biswas (prescription enclosed) and was advised to go through USG of whole abdomen, Chest PA x-ray, Echocardiogram and Holter Monitoring for 24 hrs. X-ray and Echo were normal. The USG showed a Fatty Liver. But my Holter monitoring (report enclosed) suggested Episodes of ST Depression (5 times in 24 hrs.) in Channel 1 and 3, more with higher Heart Rate. In the above situation, my Dr. suggested to have an Angiogram (as the changes in ECG are quite significant) and if results are positive to go for an Angioplasty. As I have financial constraints, my humble question is what is the minimum time and cost involved for an Angiogram + Angioplasty in CMC, Vellore, so that I can prepare to make an appointment with your esteemed hospital. Thanking you, Yours faithfully, Rajib Bhowmick
