My mom recently had a TMT test, and it showed a mild positive for inducible ischemia. The thing is, she didnt feel any pain or discomfort during the test. The doctor suggested we should go for an angiogram, but she's planning to go abroad for six months. Is it okay if we wait and do the angio after she comes back? Should we be concerned about waiting that long?

It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding the timing of the angiogram. However, in cases of mild positive inducible ischemia without symptoms, it may be possible to wait for 6 months before undergoing the angiogram. It is important to monitor your mother's symptoms and follow up with her doctor regularly during this time. If any new symptoms develop or if there are any changes in her health status, it is important to consult with her doctor earlier.

I'm wondering if an ECG can actually detect angina? I mean, should I be getting an ECG for just a minor or dull chest pain, even if I don't have any other symptoms?
It is recommended to get an ECG if there are symptoms of angina or any other heart-related issues. The frequency of ECGs may vary depending on individual risk factors and medical history. It is best to follow your doctor's advice on how often you should get an ECG. In case of minor or dull pain, do we need an ECG without having any other symptoms? Yes, even minor or dull chest pain should not be ignored, especially if it is recurring. It is advisable to consult a healthcare professional who may recommend an ECG to rule out any underlying heart issues, including angina.
