I guess you mean to say TMT is mildly positive. In a long term diabetic minor changes do occur. I am sure your physician would have put your dad on aspirin. Please make sure that his blood sugars are maintained well. also concentrate closely on blood cholesterol values. Yearly once get a TMT done along with ECHO. The best way of treatment is Prevention!
Wishing your dad the very best!
