A member asked:
Will cardiac stress test, and heart ultra sound show if i had atherosclerosis? does homocysteine play any part with it?

Somewhat: Both stress tests and echo will suggest the possibility of heart disease, but an angiogram will be diagnostic.

Atherosclerosis: If the ultrasound shows evidence of vascular calcification, that is diagnostic of atherosclerosis. A positive stress test suggests the presence of atherosclerosis. Homocysteine is only loosely connected to atherosclerosis. If you are worried, become a vegetarian.
