Hello,

TMT above shows that your mother coronary blood vessels supplying the heart are either narrower down or your mother heart is thickened. This is leading to demand supply deficit. Either demand is increased (less likely) or supply of blood to heart is reduced. Your mother may need to go for angiography once you a cardiologist approves it. Or he may prescribe anti angina drugs to her as per clinical situation and other risk factors.

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

Regards,
