I was admitted to hospital a week ago with symptom of ghabrahat from last 2 days. On several check up in hospital, I am diagnosed non diabetic, non hypertensive, non smoker. My coronary angiography was done which shows single vessel disease for which stress thallium was done and advised medical therapy. Discharge summary says final diagnosis - cad- actuate coronary syndrome, nsr- no ccf, b12 deficiency. cholesterol total - 207, triglycerides - 151, hdl - 45, ldl - 136, vldl - 26, hdl ratio - 4.60.coronary angiography report says - left main, lad,lcx are normal and rca - dominant, 80% distal stenosis, jerky movement at lesion site. Stress myocardial perfusion imaging shows global resting lvef - 56 +- 5 % with impression adequate stress and good effort tolerance, no scan evidence of stress induced reversible ischemia noted jn lv myocardium, normal resting systolic lv function with no rwma as estimated by quantitative gated spect. Stress total severity score - 23, rest total severity score - 52, reversibility total severity score - 0.tab ceruvin a 75 mg, tab rosuvas 20 mg, tab me 12 was advised. I want to know what medical procedure should we continue? Should we go for angioplasty/stent or should continue with medicine to clear the blockages? If you want I can send the report to you.

Hello Mr. lybrate-user, your stress thallium report says "no scan evidence of stress-induced reversible ischemia" -,it means even under stress there was no compromise in the blood supply in the area supplied by the blocked artery (rca 80%) so no angioplasty is needed now. You should just continue with the medication advice and follow good lifestyle -- regular exercise/ daily 2-3 km walking- restricted -low-fat diet - and follow up with your doctor if any new symptoms arise. Cholesterol levels are very high so a low-fat diet should be followed with rosuvas which is advised.
