Hi welcome to HCM. You say you have been experiencing chest discomfort for a while and ECG shows flattened T waves which have been diagnosed as ischaemic.
You need to undergo further workup --- TMT / thallium stress test/ CT angio/ angiography to assess the significance of the ECG findings and extent of ischaemia. Hope this answers your query to the full. Regards.
