I had a stress test recently and the heart rate did not slow down at the end of the test. the doctor ordered a cv-cta suspecting a possible blockage. The test did not reveal any blockage. What was the most likely reason for the fast heart rate at the end of the stress test? What can I expect in the future related to the fast heart rate?
Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As you have no blockage in artery here no need for worry You can do your check up every yearly at least by echocardiography, tread mill, serum cholesterol, blood pressure measurement, RBS Fast heart rare could be physiological. You can rule out anemia by HB estimation and thyroid issue by serum TSH and T4 estimation. If specific cause is found, then it will be treated accordingly. If your blood pressure and cholesterol is high, then it should be treated by medication.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
