What test shows blocked arteries in the heart?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The most accurate method to detect blocked arteries remains an invasive test called cardiac angiography, which requires a catheter to be threaded into heart vessels. But the signs of blocked arteries may also be seen on an ECG.

View allI'm wondering about taking my Metzok 50 tablet at a new time. I usually take it at 9 am, but I'm considering switching to 3 am. Is that okay to do?
Its generally fine to adjust the time you take Metzok 50 (metoprolol) by a few hours, but its best to consult your healthcare provider before making a permanent change.

What does it mean when my TMT report says no significant STT changes were noted? Is this something I should be worried about? Ive attached the report for reference.
In your TMT report, the mention of "No significant ST-T changes noted" means that there were no abnormal changes observed in the ST segment or T wave of your electrocardiogram during the test. This is a good sign as it indicates that there are no signs of ischemia or heart muscle damage during physical activity. There is no need to worry about this finding.

I've got a CRP level of 55.4 mgL, and I know that's pretty high. I have MVP and MR but no symptoms. What's going on with the CRP? Should I be worried? Any advice on what I should do next?
In the case of mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and mitral regurgitation (MR), an elevated CRP level of 55.4 mgl could be due to the presence of inflammation related to these conditions. Since you are not experiencing any symptoms, it is important to monitor your condition closely. To help manage inflammation and potentially reduce CRP levels, you can consider taking anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg twice daily after meals. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet can also help in managing inflammation. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your MVP and MR, as they can provide personalized recommendations based on your individual health status.
