Yes: The above test are enough, if negative, to say that the chest pain is not from coronary artery disease and/or any other structural cardiac disease. Chest wall pain/ costochondritis and acid reflux causing esophageal spasm are two possibilities that can mimic a cardiac problem.

Yes: If the ekg didn't show any signs of ischemia then that 18 year old with normal testing as above could have many other possible illnesses; including reflux disease or esophageal spasm.

I got angina when i was 18 years old; now I am 22. I had stress ecg, ecg, 24 hour ecg, echo, cardiac mri, and cardiac mra done. My heart is structurally perfect. Is there any point in getting any other testing done at a young age?
