CALCUTTA, India (CNN) -- Mother Teresa will undergo an angiogram to check the functioning of her arteries, doctors said Tuesday.
Doctors said the 86-year-old Roman Catholic nun was reluctant to have any special treatment done but agreed to the procedure Tuesday.
Dr. A.K. Sen at the Woodlands Nursing Home said doctors will transfer her to the Birla Hospital in Calcutta Tuesday afternoon, if possible, so the test can be performed "before she changes her mind."
Mother Teresa was admitted to the hospital with an irregular heart beat early Friday. It was the third time since August she had been admitted for emergency care.
