What Does A Failed Stress Test Report While Suffering From Chest Pain Indicate?

Hi, My mother in law was admitted to the hospital with chest pain, pain in both legs, and she failed her stress test. She has had a few cardiac stents placed in the past. She also has diabetes. I was wondering what a failed stress test could mean accompanied by the other symptoms

Hi,

Failed stress test means there is high possibility of coronary artery disease (CAD). Her symptoms are also suggestive of Heart disease. So in my opinion, she should definitely consult cardiologist and get done coronary angiography. She might be having restenosis of stents or new blockage.

Hope I have answered your query.
