Had a stress test with negative results. 4 months later had a triple heart bypass. how did i go from a negative stress test to the triple bypass?

False negative: Stress testing is helpful but not 100% as you now know. It also possible that at least one of the coronaries had a plaque rupture and caused you the symptoms that led to cath and surgery. Ask your docs.
