My dad's treadmill test results came back with a positive result, and the doctor mentioned he might need an angiography. The TMT report shows an ST depression of 1.5 to 2 mm. I'm really concerned about what this all means. Is this depression considered mild, or does it indicate a high possibility of blockage?

The ST depression of 1.5 to 2 mm on the TMT report indicates a moderate level of ischemia, suggesting a significant possibility of blockage in the coronary arteries. It is important to follow up with the angiography as recommended by the doctor to further evaluate the extent of blockage and determine the appropriate treatment. In the meantime, medications like Aspirin 75mg and Clopidogrel 75mg can be prescribed to reduce the risk of clot formation.

View allI'm reviewing my angiogram results, and it's making me pretty anxious. It mentions a "20% stenosis" in the distal left main, and a "90% stenosis" in the proximal left anterior descending artery, plus a "60% stenosis" in the mid LAD. The distal LAD is stated as normal, but there's a "40% stenosis" in the diagonal. Also, it says my right coronary artery has a "90% eccentric stenosis" in the distal part, though the rest is fine, as well as the PDA and minimal disease in PLV. Could you help me understand what all this means, and what should be done? I'm feeling really lost here.
"Based on the findings of your coronary angiogram, it appears that you have significant blockages in your left anterior descending artery (LAD) and right coronary artery (RCA). To address the blockages and improve blood flow to your heart, a treatment plan may include the following: - For the 90% stenosis in the proximal LAD, a coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery may be recommended. - For the 90% eccentric stenosis in the distal RCA, a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent placement could be considered. - Medications such as aspirin, clopidogrel, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, and statins may also be prescribed to manage your condition and reduce the risk of further complications. Please consult with your cardiologist to discuss these treatment options and determine the best course of action for your specific case."
