Is Cardiac CT Or Cardiac Catheterization Better For Suspicious Ischemia?
I am a 57 y/o male. I recently had a nuclear stress test that indicated a medium size mild to moderate severity defect in the basal inferior wall that is partially reversible and suspicious of ischemia Options offered at this point: 1. Cardiac CT to locate any vascular abnormalities 2. Cardiac cath with a stent Recommendations or preference of a cath over a CT?

Hello There
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that if your nuclear test came out positive then most likely you should go for cardiac catheterisation before and unpleasant cardiac event.
Hopefully this information will guide you properly.
Kind Regards
