Should I have delayed an angiogram?

Just had a chat with the cardiologist, cardiac electrophysiologist and cardiac nurse after my loop recorder showed an episode of some very low heart rate. I felt dizzy and sick, breathless and faint for a while, but then recovered..

They reduced the Diltiazem, and wanted to book an angiogram soon, before considering a pacemaker.

I was worried about corvid, at the Hospital, so they then booked me in later, for early August.

Was this unwise? Anyone think I should not have delayed?

Advice needed.

They rather left it up to me. Sometimes it’s easier to just be told!

Thank you for your thoughts. Cons did say the Hospital had far fewer Corvid patients being admitted, and the last ones In ICU were recovering, so that’s encouraging.
