My wife's TMT came back positive, but her echocardiogram and ECG results were normal. Her doctor suggested she get an angiogram. I'm trying to understand if this is the right step at her age, which is 46. Is it usual to go for an angiogram in such cases, or are there other things we should consider first?

The advice for angiogram given by the doctor seems appropriate considering your wife's TMT test being positive. An angiogram can provide detailed information about the blood flow to the heart and help in identifying any blockages in the arteries. Given her age of 46 years and the positive TMT result, it is important to further investigate to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment. I would recommend following the doctor's advice and proceeding with the angiogram to assess the heart's condition accurately.

I'm trying to figure out the best method or test to determine if my heart is in good condition. I've heard that an echo might not fully guarantee a healthy heart. Can you clarify this for me and maybe suggest other reliable options?

The best way to check the health of your heart is through a combination of tests. One of the most common and effective tests is an ECG (Electrocardiogram), which measures the electrical activity of your heart. Additionally, an Echocardiogram (Echo) can provide valuable information about the structure and function of your heart. To get a comprehensive assessment, you can also consider a stress test to evaluate how your heart performs under physical exertion. These tests, along with blood tests to check cholesterol and other markers, can give a good indication of your heart health.
