My father had an angioplasty done on 2008 for an AMI. His current age is 72 years. How to know if the same blockage is relapsing or any other new blockage developing? He is taking the medicines as prescribed by the treating Cardiologist.

Go by symptoms like breathless on exertion, general feeling of malaise, being unwell get his bp checked get blood sugar tested get lipid profile, liver and kidney function tests done. Echo test is noninvasive and does tell about function of heart compared to before angioplasty angioplasty is invasive and only way to show blocks why trouble him if he is under control?
