Brief Answer:
There is little indication for CAG in your case.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.
I can certainly understand your concerns.
Borderline TMT does not always warrant a CAG in the absence of chest symptoms like pain and breathing difficulties.
You have done reasonably well on TMT.
Hence, I think there is no need for CAG in your case at the moment.
Keep your blood pressure under control.
Blood lipids seems to be okay.
Follow up with regular ECG every month.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
