Hey, my mom just had a 2D echo test and stress test done. The echo test came back normal with an LVFH of 60. However, during the stress test, she only managed to stay on the treadmill for 2 minutes because she's not very active and is a bit overweight. Our doctor has now recommended an angiography since the stress test wasnt normal. Do you think we should be concerned and go forward with the angiography?

Based on the information provided, since the stress test was not normal and your mom has limitations in physical activity due to being overweight, it would be advisable to follow your doctor's recommendation for an angiography. This will help in further evaluating the condition of her heart and determining the best course of action. In the meantime, it's important for your mom to continue following a healthy lifestyle, including regular physical activity and a balanced diet.
