How Can Exercise Inducible Ischemia Be Treated Without Going For An Angiogram?
I am a sugar patient suffering from the last 7 years.By taking medicines it is under readings of 100 before breakfast and 180 after taking breakfast with the gap of 2 hours. I am also B P patient but the same is under control with medicine along with Eco sprin 75 mg daily. Iam also taking Star fib combination Atorvastin. My quetion is that T M T Test shows exercise inducible ischemia. Is there any medicine without going to angiogram. Iam 65 years old. Thank Q.

Hello,
If your TMT shows exercise induced ischemia, then you are more prone for a heart attack.
As far as medicine are concerned, you must continue the same, only extra thing angio will tell is what degree of block and where exactly it is. If possible, a stent can be inserted. No much benefit by increasing medications.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
