What Is The Recovery Period After Angio If The Arteries Are Fine?

Dear Respected Doctor( Cardiologist)

My mom 63, diabetic for 20 yrs, with normal cholestoral and normal BP ( on medication for Heart, BP , Cholesterol ) underwent a routine test at Elbit diagnostic in Bangalore. The test was positive. Consulted a doc at CMC who is a cardio and also assists diabetic patients. He asked for ECG inspite of TMT positive and mentioned that it is reqd for diabetic patients. The ECG was normal and he didn't refer to TMT or probably missed it and said everything is fine. When we consulted a cardio at Columbia Asia, he mentioned Angiogram is required. Also when the TMT was done on 23rd Dec my mom was not up to it. Does the TMT show positive when you can't walk on the Tread Mill ( as you are not used to walking ) for long or are tired. Is TMT a good indication for blocked arteries or any other test is required. She is normal otherwise and has no complaints about breathlessness. Please advise if angio is required or we can wait and what is the recovery period after angio if the arteries are fine. Pls advise.

Thanks N Regards

Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM.
I reviewed facts of your query in context to your health issues and feel concerned about them.

My Opinion-

In My opinion, in the given situation your mom seem to suffer mom-CAD with blocked arteries.
As TMT is positive,it means CAD bolckage is suspected.Being diabetic without abnormal bp and cholesterol, if Angio is suggested, it would mean, a preventive angio considering mom's advanced age of 63.
Please get Second opinion from Physician on this,who would assess your mom's case accordingly.As I don't have any of your reports,I would suggest you to have second opinion on Angio-(Angio-gram)advised.
In diabetics the absence of anginas is to be taken as worrying because of diabetic neuropathy.
In this scenario-if 2 doctors have advised for angiography,you should not neglect, but do it after Second opinion from 3r party physician.

If you update more information/ details upon these suggestions, I would give further suggestions on medicines to correct your health issues.

If need be, update any health issue 24 x 7 by a direct question to ME, at following HCM link-http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/Funnel?page=askDoctorDirectly&docId=70229
