I'm a bit worried after getting some tests done. I had an ECG yesterday due to some mild chest pain, and it showed abnormal inferolateral ischemia. Then I went through a TMT, and it came out borderline positive for inducible myocardial ischemia at 10.1 Mts. Can you help me understand what all of this means? Is it something I need to be really concerned about?

Based on the findings of infrolateral ischemia on the ECG and borderline positive result on the TMT for myocardial ischemia, I recommend starting treatment with Aspirin 75mg once daily to prevent blood clot formation and reduce the risk of heart attack. Additionally, you can take Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further heart issues. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

My aunt had a heart attack last month and the doctor recommended bypass surgery. I've attached her angiography report could you advise whether bypass or angioplasty would be the better option for her?

Bypass surgery may be considered as the better option for surgery in some cases where the arteries of the heart may be clogged in multiple areas or when the blockage is in the main coronary artery in the left portion of the heart.
