A normal stress thallium indicates a low like hood of severe coronary artery narrowing and is thus a predictor of a good outlook over the next 5 years. However a plaque with a 30 per cent narrowing could rupture and the ensuing clot could cause a coronary occlusion resulting in a heart attack. The chances of this are lower in a person without severe disease. But no test is perfect.
