MY TMT IS POSITIVE FOR REVERSIBLE MYCARDIAL ISCHEMIA.PLS.EXPLAIN
Brief Answer:
Needs further evaluation
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I would like to tell you that TMT positive for reversible myocardial ischemia means there is inadequate blood supply to the heart muscle during exertion and the most important reason to this is blockage in the heart blood vessels.
If you have symptoms of chest discomfort or breathing difficulties on exertion then you should go for a coronary angiogram.
I hope this information will guide you properly.
