Just got home from cardiologist office; I went to primary dr with shortness of breathe a couple of weeks ago.
Test and results:
3 EKGs, Normal
2 Echo Cardiograms, Normal on one, excellent of second one
1 Pulmonary test, normal
blood test, normal cholesterol at 157
LDL 96
HDL 34
Nuclear Stress test, indicates previous heart attack, coronary artery disease and maybe a blockage, pictures not 100% clear.
Dr wants do a Angiogram and has put me on a statin and Imdur.
How can all the test prior to the Nuclear stress test be normal and still have issues and not know you had a heart attack in the past, and do I do the Angiogram?
