I'm really concerned because my father just went through a TMT test and his score was 3.52 Mets. The doctor didnt recommend an angiography, but I'm not sure if we should still consider getting one. Could you help me understand what this means and whether we need to take further action?

A Mits value of 3.52 indicates a moderate risk of coronary artery disease. Since the doctor has not suggested angiography, it is likely that the risk is not high enough to warrant further invasive testing at this point. However, it is important to follow the doctor's recommendations and continue with regular check-ups to monitor any changes in the condition. In the meantime, medications such as Atorvastatin 20mg and Aspirin 75mg may be prescribed to manage the risk factors for heart disease.

I had a CABG surgery back in 2006, and I've been on a bunch of medications since then, like Ecosprin Gold 20mg, Nebicard 2.5mg, Gelam AM 40mg, Nikoran 10, and Nitrocontin 6.4. Is it alright for me to take Nikoran and Nitrocontin at the same time?

Continue all the medications..
