A CT Coronary angiogram was ordered. Here are the results: --Minimally obstructive coronary artery disease. --LAD A repeat troponin returned at 0.45 ng/mL, consistent with reperfused OMI, or Non-OMI. Now, with elevated troponins, Wellens' syndrome is likely. LAD plaque with 0-25 percent stenosis. CAD-RADS category 1. --No
