With information you have provided this is Stress test report and this is positive for exercise induced reversible myocardial ischemia.
This test is done to detect and confirm ischemic heart disease.
Please visit your cardiologist and he/she will guide you further with result if required other investigations.like CBC,FBS,PPBS,Lipid profile and 2 D echocardiography.
Anti anginal therapy prescription with aspirin and statins.
If appropriate your doctor may suggest medical therapy or advice coronary angiography for detecting coronary blocks if present can be treated with angioplasty and stent.
If mild lesions are detected then life style modifications and medical therapy may be advocated.
Hope this explains to you the report and helpful to you.

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
That means Coronary Artery Disease, unless proved otherwise.
That means it is necessary to go for angiography as soon as possible...
Absence of pain and good effort tolerance do not rule out
You have not stated your age, gender, personal habits, family history or co-morbidities - which may suggest other less common causes.
Discuss with your doctor
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck

hi
The above ETT shows following result
POSITIVE FOR CRITICAL ISCHEAMIA(arteries are narrowed too much and hence less blood supply)
ADVICE:diagnostic angiography TO SEE HOW MANY ARTERIES ARE BLOCKED AND STENTING CAN BE DONE OR NOT
INVESTIGATION:LIPID PROFILE , ECHO 2D
