The reason he has been advised to do angiography is to check the status of his coronary arteries. As already mentioned, it is a day care procedure. Should be alright. Let us know what the results are.

It is safely done now a days through hand in just 10-15 minutes as day care procedure. Patient can be discharged same day if otherwise normal.
As your patient is elderly gentleman with history of diabetes and hypertension so keeping in view of his symptomatic status, it must have been advised to find out if any underlying significant Coronary artery disease.
