An abnormal result on the other hand means that one or more coronary arteries may be blocked or narrowed in one or more places. The degree or percentage of each block is also reported. If the narrowing of the arteries is mild, it can be treated with medicines alone. If the arteries and their branches are more severely occluded and narrowed, coronary artery bypass graft or coronary angioplasty may be required.
