To each their own. My Father had one done and days later endured a massive heart attack. Died 3 months later.

Condolences on your loss. My dad died at my age, of a heart attack, but mom lived to 95. I was hoping I got her genes, but no such luck!

If you’ve ever looked at the images produced by a nuclear stress test, you’d be shocked at the almost complete absence of any meaningful resolution.
I was having symptoms when a nuclear stress test showed zip; fortunately my cardiologist made a clinical decision to do an angiogram based on my family history and symptoms (and not the test result) and saved my life.
