I had a stress test today. I get one every few years following heart valve replacement six years ago. I was on the treadmill for about 16 minutes until my heart rate reached 140. This was almost 2 minutes better than my last test. I felt good about it. My doc was pleased and I got a "for someone your age ...." compliment.
It got me to thinking about what it really means. Curious about how other mature folks who are in pretty good shape have done. Would any of you who have had a treadmill stress test share your thoughts or results?
Thanks.
