Answers:    There is no contraindication for having a coronary angiogram for having diabetes. I suspect your doctor is ordering this assessment either based on another abnormal assessment that was done in evaluation of your dyspnea on exertion. You likely have an abnormal EKG, Persantine thallium or stress echo. The angiogram is the gold standard on detecting narrowing of the arteries that supply oxygen to your heart (coronary arteries). The risk that associated near the test include infection, bleeding, perforation of the coronary arteries. These complications are very rare if done by a experienced interventional cardiogist. You also should be paid sure that your kidney function is normal before the test is done. Your doctor possible will order a creatinine (blood test) beforehand. If your kidney's function is low (creat > 2.0), the dye can worsen it. Your doctor may recommend that you hydrate yourself with fluids the night until that time and hold your ramipril and hydrocholorthiazide the morning of the test. Source(s): I am the doctor.
