Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Positive TMT means their is suspicion of blockage in the arteries of heart. As I can see the ST depression are more than 2 mm and that too started in stage 2 which means their are high chances. Positive TMT needs further evaluation. I suggest you to directly go for invasive coronary angiogram in spite of doing other indirect non invasive tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
