Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

You shouldn't be anxious about the results. Your ETT test was negative (i.e normal) for induced ischemia (provocable myocardial ischemia).

Exercise and ETT provoke myocardial ischemia in people suffering from heart disease. Since your test was negative you don't have any problem.

Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
