A stress test that combines a treadmill test combined with an ultrasound of the heart is termed a stress echo by MD's.. It compares the echocardiogram taken at rest with the echocardiogram done during exercise to determine whether there's any abnormalities of the circulation through the coronary arteries that could be due to blockage or blockages in the arteries. Heart muscle strength is seen also

During a stress test I was told I had inflammation and needed to get an echo. Afterwards I had an angiogram and that doctor said my heart was perfectly healthy and the inflammation wasn't the heart itself. Should I get an echo prior to my follow up?
