nuclear stress tests

I had one done simply because my PCP had it on his list when I got a scan and discovered CAD. No sign of blockage.

I would not get another unless I was symptomatic. They are only about 60% correct anyway.

It's minor invasive. Some go ahead and get them done simply because the Doc wants it and their Ins covers it.

Just had my second nuclear stress test last month. First one was 5 years ago. I have no symptoms to warrant the test other that a family history. Jim
