Had nuclear stress test all clear, does this mean my heart is fine,61year old male. thankyou ?

Yes and No: Nuclear stress tests have a predictive value of about 95% for heart disease. You likely still have some vascular disease because of a high fat/sugar western diet, so ongoing work at diet, exercise and other healthy lifestyle choices will work to keep heart disease and other conditions under control over the years.
