stress test

ok i had a stress test done on tuesday they said everything looked great, he said my ef % was 66%. is that a good ef %? and he said my blood preasure during the test was great but i remember at one ppoint about 10 minn in my blood preasure was 202/ 80 i dont think that would be normal but he insited that it was perfectly fine i know he went to school for a 100 years to do his job but i just want to make sure, does anyone have any idea if this is normal. and one other thing if there was something wrong with my heart would it have shown during the stress test? thnaks ahead of time for the replies god bless

Congratulations on the good stress test result.

An EF of 55 to 75 percent is considered normal, mine is 60%.  This suggests an EF higher than 75 isn't good, I don't know why..but that not a concern for us here until we get a post from someone with such a condition.

As for BP, I think it is normal for the BP to go up when one exercises.  I don't have anything specific, maybe someone else will comment.
