Brief Answer: Hello Detailed Answer: Hi Mr XXXXXXX i am Dr Mittal I have read your query Now I understand that you dont have any symptoms. And I also assume that this test was done as a part of routine check I would have personally suggested a patient I was seeing to go ahead with a CT Angiography. That is the one way to know. Alternative is a stress Doppler. However the latter test is not easily available. I understand it may seem unnecessary, but matters of heart need to be taken seriously Best of luck Dr Mittal
