depending on your functional class and ecg you may be subjected to exercise or dobutamine stress echocardiography. both test are safer in specialist hand and centre.
in exercise stress echo- you will get your baseline echo done followed by treadmill test up to a certain heart beat and then after echo to asess your heart function. if any of your arteries having significant blockage your heart function will decrease than expected.
you can get it done from any cardiology centre.
