Was the main purpose of the nuclear stress test to assess coronary artery circulation and heart muscle function? Did your achieve the target heart rate considered as a maximal stress test? Did you experience any concerning symptoms? Was any active ischemia seen on EKG or nuclear scan? I feel the met score ( yours was borderline good) isn't the main value of the test and may not be accurate.
