Mildly postive tmt
I had my tmt test a few days ago which comes out to mildly postive. All other things like cholestrol, BP and ecg were normal. Doctor is asking for angiogram which is a costly affair for me. Is it really necessary

Mild Positive TMT does not give much idea. It can be false positive. I need to see your TMT along with walking time , symptoms during TMT and METS achieved for complete interpretation of your TMT

Since your TMT is positive
it is better to do angiogram to see blockage in the Coronary arteries

Angiogram will clarify about heart block... Do it if you want... If you are fine with medicine you continue..
