Hello! When I was diagnosed with myocardial ischemia before pregnancy, did I have an echocardiogram, an electrocardiogram, and a stress test? Because she is young and female, the assessment for true myocardial ischemia (coronary artery disease) should be conducted comprehensively and in accordance with standard practice guidelines.
