Cardiologist,  's  Response
no even if lead v5and v6 show some unspecified problem(u have not mentioned)
angiography is not at all indicated

2d echo cardiogarphy should be done to see the blood supply to heart walls and a tread mill test should be done to see the response of blood supply to exercise

angiography is never indicated in asymptomatic patients with mild changes in two leads

in case some ischemia is seen in tmt or 2d echo....stress thallim test should be done....if some thing is still reflected itsxa indication of angiography

dont worry get a 2d echo and tread mill test done

thanks
