Brief Answer:
Indicates to possible blocked coronary artery

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Positive stress test indicates to ischemia and another blocked artery. In this case two options are available
1. Angiography and evaluation if coronary arteries again
2. Try medical treatment and evaluate with stress test after some time

Anyway, he is a diabetic patient and has elevated risks, so I think you should discuss the possibility of angiography with his doctor

Hope I could help you

Wishing a good health to your father

In case of further questions don't hesitate to ask

Dear XXXXXXX

Echo results are not bad.
But in case of positive stress test I think there is a need to angiography. It is not urgent. But coronary arteries should reevaluated.
Positive stress test means, that there is another blocked artery. But as it is not an acute blockage, it is not dangerous and urgent.

Thanks for the reply sir. Will the artery blockade can be cured with the tablets that my father's taking currently? can i wait for further one month for the revaluation?is there any other precautions to be taken?. My father is in proper regular diet and exercise.

Dear XXXXXXX

You can try with medical treatment and healthy lifestyle and evaluate with TMT in a month.
Blockage can't be cured with medications, but ischemia can be treated with medication and atherosclerosis can be stabilized with medication.
So, he can take the medications, you can wait for some time and after think about angiography.
