I had a stress test a couple of weeks ago. I sort of agree with Garfield. They may not be that useful. Mine was the injection type, but there were several problems. I have REALLY bad knees, plus a max Hr of 180, plus I can't really run and have never used a treadmill. So... they did a 220-age (I'm 65) and decided my max was 155 and decided to settle for 140 bpm. I don't know how long I went, but at the end I was running pretty hard and FINALLY got to 140. On a stationary bike I could have gone much higher. So they weren't really looking at my heart under stress as far as I was concerned. I talked to a friend who had an event with a calcium deposit a few months ago and he had gone through the same battery of tests that I did and passed with flying colors. So does it mean anything. Not sure, but I sure spent a lot of the insurance companies money.
