Echo stress test results
On my stress test results it states: 1mm horizontal ST depression noted at peak exercise which is positive for Ischemia.
Is that very bad or possibly not so bad?
Is that very bad or possibly not so bad?
ST segment depression on the electrocardiogram during the exercise treadmill test is used as a predictor of coronary artery disease, although it is recognized that both false-positive and false-negative results limit the value of this procedure. There is a low sensitivity rating with an EKG and requires further testing, and symptoms to support a diagnosis of ischemia.
