Suggest Treatment For Hypertension & Irregular Heartbeat
hello my father is 60 yrs old. he is a patient of hypertension till 2004. the doctor told him to do some tests which included TMT and 24hrs holter moniter. when the tests were over the doctor told us that there is no danger and said that TMT test is positive, so there is no need to do the angiography. in some of his prescriptions there were some thing like "external vpc" or "(occational)supraventricular ectopic beats" etc. now, when taking the blood pressure of him i find a kind of false or misbeat, that is out of the rythm. i am no doctor. help me. i fear if there is any problem.

Hi There
After going through the medical details provided by you of your father it seems like either there is some typing error or some misperception as you said your doctor told that your father's TMT test is positive so there's no need for ANGIOGRAPHY.
I want to tell you that once TMT test is positive we need to do an angiography to rule out any coronary artery disease causing ischaemia to heart. So its advisable to consult your cardiologist and discuss regarding this.
Occasional supra ventricular ectopics do not cause any harm and can be controlled by low dose beta blockers.
I wish your father Good health
