abnormal Stress test

At my last physical, my stress test came back abnormal...I had small implants since I had the previous stress test- was wondering if having brest implants would cause an abnormal stress test reading?

The cause for an abnormal stress test is numerous and can be due to benign causes such as a faster than normal heart rate at the time of the test, diet, medication, etc.  An abnormal stress test requires an assessment of other clinical evidence, symptoms, etc. to make a dx.  Was the stress test completed, or stopped due to shortness of breath, muscle fatigue, irregular EKG findings, etc.
