inconsistent echocardiogram and stress test.
Recently I had an echocardiogram that showed no abnormality. At the same time I took a chemical stress test that I failed with a 13% difference between resting and stressed measurements.
I had an angiogram several years ago that showed mild amount of plaque. The cardiologist is indicating that based upon the stress test I may want to have another CT angiogram . He is not pressing however because I have no chest pain and he indicated the stress test results maybe related to the fact I have mycardial bridging. He has left it to me to decide to have another angiogram or just wait 6 months and redo thestress tests. Would appreciate advise.
