Hi,
In case you have positive TMT test, coronary angiography is indicated. If TMT test is positive you have 80% chances of having blocked artery, during angiography the artery may be found and treated with stent, otherwise it may lead to a heart attack if left untreated.
If you are worried much, I would like to tell you that usually coronary is a safe procedure in 97% of cases.
Take care
Come back if you have any further questions
