It is related. Bird shot found in his heart. Will treat conservatively, without surgery. Surg has too many risks for a 78 yr old.

Heart Catheterization is a Surgical Procedure. My 1 Year old nephew has to have this done following Open Heart Surgery just after Birth. Also it involves injection of dyes for contrast, Cardiac Angiography. Complications may be Heart Attack or Stroke. elderly People are susceptible to these problems, but it is still fairly low risk.
