I'm not quite sure what to make of that report. However, a stress test is compelling to do something further only if high risk criteria are met. They were not. It is of no value as reassurance that coronary artery disease is not present. You may want to ask your doctor about a heart scan. A low score is reassuring. A high score is an indication that you need to be strict about diet, lifestyle and your future risk of heart attack.
