Hello,
Welcome To Health Care Magic,
The shadow is just the visible portion of the heart.The exercise test just gives a shadow and tells us if the problem is big,medium or small,if there is any structural problem.It does not explain the exact problem for that an angiogram is necessary.

dear amy
stress test does not give any definite diagnosis
both echo and angio should be done
dont play with your heart
consult a cardiologist
now a dayds most of the cardiac problem can be treated
all the best from dr manjula rau
