Question : My treadmill stress test result shows CSA is mildly positive for inducible myocardial? Shall i ignore or to go for further tests?
Brief Answer:
Go for another test
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
What are your symptoms? Do you get chest pain on exertion and relieves with rest. If yes and even otherwise, we can't neglect the test report.
You should undergo stress thallium or CT coronary angiography whichever is available in nearby area, to clarify the doubt.
Its possible that this may be a false positive report but we need to be sure.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
