Cardiac evaluation
Last year, I had an angio done, which was completely normal- my Dog told me that I did not worry about anything for the next five years and whatever I get are not heart related
A year later, I have started getting heaviness, tightness in my chest, neck, throat, etc - ECG and cardiac enzymes. All good. The cardio said that no need of any testing and I should get physiotherapy or relax my muscle.
But I asked on some forum, and I also chatted with Doctor on practo- they all advised that should get a fresh TMT, echo done or stress echo-
I was wondering, why do I need these cardiac tests done again ?? is this extra cautious approach

If the resting ECG and echo are normal, you don't need any further tests at this time,in view of the previous normal coronary angiography and your age

With a normal angiogram, ECG and cardiac enzymes, repeating TMT and echo is not necessary testing depends on your symptoms and risk factors, so a cardiology review can decide whether any repeat test would actually add value.
