Curious, when you said you had a treadmill stress test, was this a nuclear stress test or just a conventional stress test?
About five years ago, as part of a routine physical I got a routine echocardiogram, given my age and family history and my doc didn’t like what he saw (thought it showed some heart muscle damage) and so he ordered a nuclear stress test.
It turned out fine and I passed with flying colors but I’m glad I had it and am due to have another this year. A nuclear stress test can detect heart muscle damage that a traditional treadmill test won’t necessarily detect. If you’ve not had one, I would suggest asking your cardiologist if you should. Given that you had a heart attack and have had some arrhythmia and your family history, I would think it would be routine.
It was just the standard. I’ve undergone three since the attack. The second was ordered to be nuclear, however it would have cost 6k, so I declined and just opted for physical. Sadly, I am self pay at this time.
