Thanks for using healthcaremagic.I understand your concern.
If i were your physician,would also suggest for further evaluation with coronary angiogram to assess coronary vessel state,as your HDL(Good cholesterol) level(normal 40mg/dl and above) is low and serum triglycerides(Safe below 150mg/dl ) is high which are nowadays considered as an independent risk factor for the development of coronary artery disease other than treadmill test positivity and hypertension.Hope this information helps you.If any further questions ,wish to answer .
