I tested positive on a thallium stress test, do i need an angioplasty?

O have 244 total cholesterol and 33 HDL

Thallium stress tests are fairly accurate. They show you the actual blood flow your heart is getting. They compare your resting images (the first set of pictures you laid there for) to the images after your heart has been stressed (the second set of pictures you laid there for). This lets you know if there are areas of your heart that don't get good flow after you have been stressed. This can be accurate enough to know WHICH arteries may have a blockage.

You should consult with a cardiologist about these results. Depending on what it means by "positive", they will give their recommendation about whether you need an angio or not. We have many patients that don't have to have them done, but many that go. It all depends on what the "positive" means.

Either that or a CABG.
