A member asked:
H ow accurate is a stress echo if you do 10 or more mets and reach 90 percent of maximum predicted hr?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Extremely Accurate: The negative predictive value of a stress echo at such a high workload is excellent. Over all populations, the chances of a cardiac event are less than 0.5% per year. In your age group and given the fact that you exercised to 10 METS, I imagine your risk is a lot lower than that. FYI: one MET is the amount of energy the body uses at rest. You were able to push your body to produce 10 times that
