Question 4

My dad just got a health check-up, and his TMT test came out positive. The doctor suggested we go for an angiogram, and I'm curious if we're on the right path here. Is there a possibility that the angiogram might show no blockages at all? Also, are t...

Accepted Answer

Yes, you're on the right track. A positive TMT (Treadmill Test) suggests that there may be reduced blood flow to the heart, and an angiogram is a standard follow-up to check for any blockages. It is possible that an angiogram might show no significant blockages; sometimes TMT results are positive due to other factors. Angiograms are generally safe, but they do carry minimal risks, such as bleeding, infection, or, rarely, an allergic reaction to the dye used.

Accepted Answer

Based on your symptoms and cholesterol levels, it is important to continue taking Storvas 20 to help lower your cholesterol levels. In addition, you may benefit from adding an antiplatelet medication like Aspirin 75mg to reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke. It is also important to make lifestyle changes such as following a heart-healthy diet, exercising regularly, and quitting smoking if you smoke. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
