What Does This Result From Heart Scan Indicate?

I had a heart scan which showed there was a bulge in my D1 artery which the consultant reported would cause future problems. Subsequently, I was admitted for a CT scan with a view to having a stent fitted. They didn t fit a stent as they said no blockage was found. I m worried in case the bulge could be an aneurysm

Hello and welcome to HCM,
A bulge in the artery could be due to an anuerysm.
An aneurysm is best diagnosed by MRA or magnetic resonance angiography.
Thus, I suggest you to get MRA done after consultation with your referring doctor.

Thanks and take care
