My father found a Positive result in TMT before 6 years.Doctor suggested for angiogram.Due to busy schedule he did not take the test.Now he went for regular checkup amd TMT showed the same positive result..but he doesn t have any discomfort..6years ago also TMT was taken for resular checkup..Is he really nedd an angiogram
Hi, Positive TMT means that there could be underlying ischemia and need further evaluation. The sensitivity of TMT is however around 70%, means it can wrongly detect 30% patients with false positive. There are many tests ahead of TMT with better sensitivity, but angiography is the gold standard and I think we all should make our doubts clear by directly going for angiography. So you should get the angiography done. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
