I'm a bit concerned about my recent stress test result which showed mildly positive for provcable myocardial ischaemia. I'm not fully sure what this means and I'm worried about what it might mean for my heart health. Could you help me understand this a bit better and maybe suggest what preventive or corrective steps I should be looking into? I just want to make sure I'm taking care of myself in the best way possible.

Stress test showing "Mildly Positive for Provicable Myocardial Ischaemia" indicates a potential issue with blood flow to the heart during physical activity. To address this, I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, healthy diet, and stress management. Additionally, medication therapy may be necessary. You can consider starting with a low-dose aspirin regimen for blood thinning and a statin medication like Atorvastatin to manage cholesterol levels. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.
