A member asked:

Had st depression of <1mm on stress test? i read bad things about this? so confused as it says non diagnostic for ischemia and intermediate cv risk?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Who ordered it?: There is a lot of things in a stress test to consider it diagnostic or not diagnostic. If you achieved target heart rate, underlying rythm, medications, for example. 1mm are none specific in most cases and more in a 26 year old. How many METS did you achieve, How long did you run? was their imaging involved. This you need to address with you cardiologist. If not why one earth did he order it?
