Do good blood oxygen levels indicate a healthy heart?

Heart disease: Good blood oxygen levels indicate adequate lung, chart and blood function to achieve those levels. Abnormalities of the heart are possible within this statement.

Good enough: Normal blood oxygen saturation levels means nothing is immediately broken. That doesn't mean everything is in tip top shape. There are many pulmonary, cardiac, and hematologic causes of low blood oxygen levels and the "pulse ox" as we sometimes call it, helps us know when these conditions are getting better.
