Brief Answer:
findings are too significant to ignore..

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX, Welcome to HCM,

I've gone through your query and understand you concern..

Yes I've reviewed the Echo report and let me inform you that your cardiologist is absolutely right..

You need to get a catheterization without any further delay to look for any underlying thrombus/block in the LAD terrritory(which is causing this akinetic anterior segment)..

It's almost certain as the findings got detected during the stress test, so I'd request you not to be worried at all.. it seems your in good hands, and this has been detected while under medical supervision (thus minimal interruption and maximum prompt measures are warranted)..

Please don't worry and simply go ahead with the intervention, it's good that the blood pressures are under control only..

Wish you the very best of health..

Let me know how you stay in the due course..


Take Care
Kind Regards
