Hi all,

Interested in views am two year post 2 x stents (including 1x lad) generally not been too bad back to gym and running even managed 5 a side, much improved bloods/BP and weight lost.

Had atypical symptoms originally and was scheduled surgery.

Any way around Christmas started getting a few repeat symptoms, more annoying than anything but certainly feels regular, unlike first time with head in sand this time i contacted gp and I chanced my arm by contacting cardiologist secretary (was never directly signed back to gp according to letters), gp arranged bloods and ecg all fine and I did get a quick call yesterday with cardiologist with a follow up to be scheduled, has been suggested either mri perfusion scan or ct angio would be next step as high level feeling is either stents are closing off or possible new blockage

So my question any views on which scan is better thanks
