Besides managing BP, what else can slow the growth rate?

Is there another test then can do rather then the nuclear stress that is compatible. I'm not so comfortable when the die injection. I've had many over the years at 72 years of age.

Honestly the amount of dye they inject is minimal and you drink water immediately after the test and right before the second set of pictures and the dye flushes out. I don't see the value of the test not having the pictures of my arteries done and w/out the dye they can't get a clear picture of what's going on. I have 4 so far in my lifetime and never had an issue.

I think it depends on what the goal of the stress test is. I had one after coronary atherosclerosis was discovered during a CAC test. The aortic dilation was discovered at the same time. Yet, I think the stress test was only to identify potential blockages in the coronary arteries. I'm not sure they are given if the only concern is an aneurysm. Have your stress tests been related to aneurysm?
