A member asked:
Statistically speaking, what are the chances of a cardiac event in the first year lets say after a normal nuclear stress test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very low: Studies have quoted different numbers based on type of stress (exercise vs. Pharmacologic), length of follow up, patient population, etc. Overall, the risk is very low, well below 5%, reported around 1%/yr after a normal study in the below listed study.
