If she has a focal coronary artery blockage or if she has had an infarct, these should be picked up by a thallium study. Appropriate therapies could then be administered. In the meantime, I agree with her current medical management with coumadin and an ACE inhibitor. Finally, I'm encouraged by her continued improvement and I wish her and your family good luck and continued improvement. I hope you find this information useful.
