Hello,

Regarding your concern, I would explain that the tread mill test cannot show the percentage of coronary artery blockage. It can just indicate the presence of myocardial ischemia during physical exertion.

The coronary angiogram is the golden standard test to examine the blood flow in the coronary arteries and detect with high precision the percentage of blockage in each of them.

I would be glad to review those test reports for a more professional opinion as soon as you will able to upload them on this site.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
