Hi,
It means that your report is not that bad. Good exercise tolerance means there is less likely you have any cardiac ischaemic problem. But because there were trace evidence of ischaemic event evident, represented by ST changes.
Hence its written borderline positive result.
For patients over cautious and under good insurance cover, i recommend CT Coronary angiography. While in most, i give start some medication, and re-evaluate on follow up.
Regards
