Hello Doctor, I m a 48 year old Female. i ve just got my annual medical report and in my stress test report, it says the following: 1. good effort tolerance 2. nornal HR & BP response 3. Downsloping ST depressions anterolaterally 4. No evidence of arrhythmia/ chest pain . CONCLUSION: Positive stress test for inducible ischaemia at workload achieved. The consulting physician told that i have to meet a cardiologist as there could be some heart condition. Can you please let me know what this report actually indicates? Much appreciate your help in this. Many thanks

Hi,
Thanks for Query,
Your stress report shows that your heart has normal rate & Blood pressure response when you take work load.It's Rhythm is also normal during stress.The only adverse thing is ST depression in ECG.
This is a a reading of tracing of ECG indicates ST Depression means your coronary artery gets less blood during stress & that is the reason that your Doctor have send you to cardiologist.
Thanks.
