stress test

[drsuhas]

My mother is 61, hypertensive on metoprolol 50 mg od, non diabetic. She gets sweating wlile walking app 200m distence for last 5-6 years. so her stress test was done. baseline ECG is normal. On Bruce protocol she could walk for upto 2 min on treadmill. There were no ECG changes during test, but during recovery phase she developed ST depression with T inversion in II, III, AVF , I, aVL and V2 to V6 for 10 min. She was not having chest pain at that time.
She is undergoing Cor angio shortly. What is the probability that she can have Triple vessel disease?

There is every possibility if a previous angiogram has not been taken to actually see the inside of the coronary arteries. However, this is starting to look at the worse possible scenario which most scared people tend to do. It could be there is just one blockage at around 70-90% or maybe there is a blockage in each of the three main arteries. Maybe there are two blockages in each artery. As long as they are easily accessible, then there is no reason why they cannot be ballooned and held open with a drug eluting stent.
I now have 6 stents and I'm sure if I have many more then a magnet will stick to my chest.
