A member asked:

What exactly does it mean if you did badly on a nuclear stress test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nuclear test: It means the images on the test were not normal. You need to discuss with your doctor what the test implications are for you. It isn't so straightforward that one can know from out here.
