Brief Answer:
The CSA is positive for Inducible Myocardial Ischemia...
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I've gone through your query and understand your concerns...
Yes, I've reviewed both the attached reports (the uploaded CSA report is extremely blurred, kindly always check the image quality before uploading)...However, it is positive for Inducible Myocardial Ischemia...
Although your resting HR, BP and resting ECG all were within normal limits, such positive findings should not be ignored. Hence, I totally agree with your doctor for undergoing Coronary Angiogram. It's the standard protocol followed universally, and it's basically just a Check angiogram to see if at all there's any blockage (which should always be checked in such scenario).
It's good that there's no family history of heart problems, but still, in my opinion, you should go for it (just a few minutes procedure done under local anesthesia and done routinely, so nothing to worry).
Let me know if there're any further doubts/queries...
Take Care
Kind Regards
