A member asked:

Will a stress echocardiogram show if my narrowing of mid lad has gotten worse ?

Dr. Romanth Waghmarae answered

Specializes in Pain Management

Echo: This does not show the severity of the interior of the lad. It merely shows wall and cardiac function. By extrapolation if function is bad or worse than before then you can assume that the narrowing is worse.
