Do you think a nuclear stress test could lead to a stroke? Trying to find out what caused my dad to have a stroke. The only thing he did differently in the days leading up to his stroke was the nuclear stress test.

So glad for your honesty and information. It's hard to find honest medical professionals now days.

I wish you were my cardiologist! I never really knew much about stress tests when I had mine done. The physicians assistant ordered a nuclear stress test which I am told came back normal thus she wrote a note in my chart that "my symptoms" which were horrible arrhythmias had nothing to do with my heart. I have never been overweight, never had a high cholesterol level, never an elevated blood sugar. In the meantime I went into heart failure and was admitted through the ER of a different hospital system and I had a conduct block and had to have a pacemaker. That first cardiology office never did any blood work at all,no BNP or Troponin or anything. Why they decided to jump on the idea of doing a NUCLEAR stress test I have no idea.

I’m 66, my cardiologist wants me to take a stress test next year. I had a ct angiogram 3 yrs ago : “no vessel disease” calcium: Zero. I just ran a sub 60 10k .. I run 4mi/day and do CrossFit … WTF I’m also plant based and keep ldlc in low 30’s apoB in low 40’s lp(a) 6mg/dl. .. lp-pla2:60, NT-PROBNP: < 35 MPO:200. I take 10mg resu and 10mg eze … what’s he going to tell me … exercise “more” eat plants, take statins … I do all that .. and my lab measured vo2max is 50. If I ever get heart disease … I’ll be beyond p**** off.

Went to my Cardiologist February 21st, 2023, advised I may be having surgery coming up to repair two hernias and a gall bladder removal. Asked to have preclearance/ EKG done. I was cleared. Took two months to get a surgery date for July 14th. When the surgeon called over to get the clearance, the cardio office flagged me because I did not get the Stress Test. Note: they have their own lab and routinely run Medicare patients through. Now I can't get a lexiscan Nuclear test until July 19th, and then have to wait until August to get my hernias repaired. I also have an appointment to see the Gasrontologist on July 28th that I have been waiting 3 months to see for IBS/D that I have had since Feb. 6th. Have lost 30 lb, 2# a week.

Thank you. Are you saying that a person with stint or bypass would probably live just as long without doing anything besides meds

I have a question. I have a stent already from 2015. My doc has ordered the nuclear stress test to make sure I can have a safe knee replacement surgery. I’ve canceled the test because I’m afraid of a false positive. My husband went through it several years ago and they admitted him immediately and put a stent in. He is still mad about it. Is there another, less invasive way to clear me for surgery???
