Since your treadmill test(TMT) shows a mild positive inducible myocardial ischaemia,it would definitely help if a gallium Cardiac stress test were done,a lipid profile and cardiac angiography may be needed to ensure correction of any possibly blocked cardiac vessels.Apparently you must have experienced angina in the course of your day to day activity for a TMT to be done.Further testing can be extremely helpful in preventing future cardiac emergencies.
