Detailed Answer:
Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic
The picture can be accounted by Anxiety… yet in such a situation, the wise action is to exclude progression of the Coronary Artery Disease.
The next step is TMT with thallium isotope. It is the ideal non-invasive way to evaluate ischemia / to assess the PHYSIOLOGY (function) / to assess any block in the stent or progression of the problem in native coronary artery
Nothing further to do, if it is normal. If there is any suggestion of a probable, the next step is to see the ANATOMY (structure) – to repeat catheterisation and coronary angiography with a view for possible intervention. It is the only way to directly ‘see’ the block, if any – and its location, extent, severity and so on. Coronary arteriography is invasive but it is the gold standard for this.
CT angio is non-invasive study for the anatomy. If positive, she will need catheterisation, anyway.
The treating doctor alone could conclude better, based on the total clinical picture
The medicines are appropriate
Good luck
God bless you
