Dear sir
Positive exercise induced ischemia and ST segment elevation indicates that there is certain amount of blockage in the coronary arteries indicating further attention and treatment.
some times these blocks can be treated either medically or through angioplasty. but it depends upon the site and type of blockage and plaque.
So for further investigations you need to undergo coronary angiogram.
Thanks
