Uncertain: Depending on what type of stress test you had, and the degree of abnormality, the rates of false positive tests will vary. The angiogram is a way to definitely answer your question.

Possible: Stress has some false positives, so another test is important. ? Ink? Do, you mean catheterization imaging?
