[|Human|] i am 53 yrs old  on health check up  x-ray report indicates unfolding of aorta also treadmill test for 9 minutes shows mi;dly positive for myocardial ischaemia. how serious these findings are?what next investigations required? i am also taking treatment for gastriotis.pl advise
[|AI|]  Hello, thanks for posting on Chat Doctor. Unfolding of aorta is X-ray finding which suggests that there might be aortic aneurysm. But nowadays with recent advances like 2D ECHO it can be easily picked up. Regarding positive treadmill test, it suggests there might be a chance of you having some blockage in artery(s) of your heart. Further workup will include a 2D ECHO study, if that also picks up some changes, your cardiologist might ask you to undergo a coronary angiogram which will visibly show any blockage if at all present and depending on the severity he might decide about doing angioplasty or not. I hope I answered your query well. Thank you
