After months of chest aches and pains, I went for a full heart work up, including a CT angiogram with contrast. I've just got the results back and it says:
"No significant stenosis in coronary arteries"
The word significant is bugging me - doesn't it imply I have some stenosis?

It's just standard doctor-speak, it means that there's nothing of concern.

The dangers of someone with HA getting a printout before discussing results formally with a health professional..
It probably means in relation to your age? We all must have some general wear and tear which is normal.
Perhaps you could just ring up the hospital department and speak to someone who can explain things properly to you?
