Is it possible to have false positive coronary stress test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
False+ stress test?: Yes.. many reasons and only you and your Dr can interpret and discuss what YOU should do. Usually leads to an angiogram which tells you and team more. If normal very unlikely to ever have atherosclerotic heart disease Most common cause would be an enlarged heart from high blood pressure. More common in those of Africa descendants
