Hello dear
I understand your concern
TMT test positive for inducible ischemia suggests possibility of cardiovascular disease as ST depression was reported
It suggests inadequate blood supply to the heart
I would suggest to undergo TMT with thallium isotope o CT angiography to investigate the cardiovascular disease by consulting the cardiologist.
If above tests will come normal then you should not concern about the problem.
In case of positive result coronary angioplasty will require.
Hope this may help you
