I'm really worried because my dad's having some mild chest pain. The doctor suggested an X-ray and then mentioned a CT-guided FNAC, but we're stuck since there aren't any clinics nearby that offer this procedure. On top of that, we're not in a strong financial position. Can you guide me on what we should do next? I'm feeling pretty lost right now.

I'm really worried about my mom's 2D Echo report that mentions Aortic Valve Sclerosis. It also states LV Diastolic Dysfunction, Mild TR, Mild PAH, and Trivial MR AR, but no Intracardiac Masses or pericardial effusion. What caught my eye was the doctor's advice for an angiogram. Is that truly necessary? What kinds of risks are we looking at if we don't go for it? Would appreciate your guidance on whether this is a standard procedure or if alternative approaches exist.

yes angiogram is advised .
