Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that when discussing about an abnormal cardiac stress test it is supposed that an inducible cardiac ischemia has been demonstrated (clinical angina and/or ECG repolarization's abnormalities; cardiac rhythm or conductance abnormalities, advese hemodynamic changes), as well as an abnormal hypertensive response.

I don't know the reason, why a cardiac stress test was asked, while you have already performed a coronary angiogram and the result was OK.

- Why did your doctor order stress test?

- Have you experienced chest pain recently?

- Or any new ECG changes?

- How did you face the cardiac stress test? Did you experience any adverse clinical symptomatology (pain, abnormal dyspnea, persistent palpitations, exaggerated hypotention, etc).

- Any complaints after stress test? Or feeling quite fine?

Whichever be the answers, I could explain that as far as you are quite normal in your daily life (no chest pain, no limitations because of shortness of breathing), nothing dangerous could be predicted in regards of the near prognosis.

So relax! Nothing will happen till you meet your cardiologist for a direct and detailed review of your actual cardiac status.

Furthermore, your performed angiogram has not confirmed any important coronary lesions.

Remember that even if you had a previously diagnosed chronic cardiac angina, this would not be a limitation for performing your programmed surgery.

Nevertheless, I would be interested to review your cardiac stress test results (when they become available) together with your resting ECG and possible clinical symptomatology.

In case of any further uncertainties, do not hesitate to ask me again.
