I'm really worried about my dad who's 55 and has diabetes and high blood pressure. He went for a cardiac check-up about 10 days ago. The ECG came back abnormal but the 2D echo was normal, and the TMT report was positive. They started him on clopitab 75mg along with his regular meds for BP and diabetes, and now they've advised an angiogram. But here's the thing, he has no chest pain or symptoms, and he walks daily. I'm wondering if a CT angio might be a better option since it uses barium dye, and if the calcium score is negative, wed know theres less risk for a cardiac arrest. Could you give me some advice on this?

I'm a little concerned about my ECG results. I did one using a portable ECG device and it says "Sinus Rhythm," but Im not sure if that means everything is actually okay. Is this considered clinically normal or should I be worried about something else?
Sinus Rhythm on ECG indicates normal heart rhythm. However, to determine if the ECG is clinically normal, other factors need to be considered such as symptoms, medical history, and physical examination. If there are no other concerning findings, the ECG can be considered normal.

So I got my ECO and TMT tests done on June 14th, and everything came back normal. My blood pressure kind of bounces between 120145 and 8092. Since the TMT was negative, does this mean I definitely don't have any blockages? Should I be redoing these tests given my blood pressure numbers? I'm just trying to figure out if there's anything else I should be doing or checking on.
Hi, based on your normal Eco and TMT results from June 14th and considering your blood pressure readings between 120-145 and 80-92, as well as the negative TMT result indicating no blockage, there may not be an immediate need to repeat the same tests. However, it is important to continue monitoring your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further guidance on managing your blood pressure. If you have any concerning symptoms or if your blood pressure readings significantly change, it would be advisable to consult with your doctor for a personalized assessment and recommendations.
