A member asked:
Is treadmill test good enough to rule out possible coronary artery and heart disease?

No: Many times in medicine a single test cannot be counted on to rule out disease completely. Even though stress testing is a very good test to evaluate the blood flow to the heart, it is only one piece of the diagnostic puzzle and sometimes a cardiac catheterization is needed to better decide if there is a problem.

Probably: But not with absoulute 100% certainty. Still, it is a highly useful test.
