I am suffering from Angina at age 20. I know of a few tests to detect plaque build up in arteries and most likely in the next few days, I will have to under go one.
I know an Angiograpy is supposed to be the method of choise, but at age 20, and suffering from chronic anxiety disorder my whole life, i dont think i'm ready for that type of method yet.
I was reading up on a Magnetic Resource Angiogram, (MRA) where they inject dye into the vein in the arm and simply take pictures using magnetic imaging, no cather flowing in my arteries.
I would much rather prefer this method but I would like to know will it do a good enough job in detecting plaque build up in arteries as a Coronary Catherization?
