I am a 48 year old woman who presented with chest pain, my heart rate is 48/52 and pulse rate is 54 I was given GTN spray and one asprin daily. ECG showed something amiss. Hospital advising treadmill with dye I would much prefer angiogram as that would give proper diagnosis I have been on treadmills before for chest pain but nothing showed up at that time. What do you think? what advice would you give? How accurate is an ECG?
