Greetings! Thank you for your question and welcome to Chat Doctor. I carefully read your query. Acetylsalicylic acid is widely used for a great range of reasons, and one of the most important is cardiovascular disease, whether in primary or secondary prevention, with great benefits in preventing heart attack, hospitalizations regarding cardiovascular disease etc. This composition has many brand names, which I will not mention here, but aspirin and disdain cardio care are the same composition, and it does not really matter which is taken, to achieve the aim described above. Therefore, my opinion is that it is safe to take one or the another. As for the other part, cardiac stress test is a very sensitive test to determine whether there is a coronary artery blockage anywhere in your coronary arteries, but has low specificity to determine to which artery is the culprit and has the blockage. Therefore, coronary angiogram is recommended, to precisely reveal that which artery may have the blockage, and further strategies of treatment that should be undertaken, at the moment or later. I hope to have been of help. My regards,
