Is my concern valid, and am I being reasonable in wanting to determine if there is further progression of the disease process. Dear Linda I would also favor an aggressive diagnostic approach.

Your husband has very aggressive coronary artery disease and it is important to try to keep it from progressing. I hope you find this information useful.
