A member asked:
What are my chances of having artery blockage or a heart attack after a normal nuclear stress test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very small : A myocardial perfusion scan done in good hands and at a good workload, i.e. Achieved > 85% max predicted heart rate that is normal bodes well for u. Typically if totally normal, your risk of an adverse cardiovascular outcome is less than 1% over next 3 years. At your young age, you ought not to get another nuclear scan if no symptoms, but rather focus on a heart heathy lifestyle. Mediterraneandiet

A member asked:
I was reading on the internet that blockages in the smaller arteries may not show on heart tests such as stress echo which could mean CAD from a smaller artery. Is this true?
