If they find anything, it can be treated and probably relatively easily.
Let us know how it goes. I always go the Spanish deli across the street afterward for my lunch/reward. I stay on my diet, and enjoy the food.
Just got back, and exactly as you described. Target HR was 138 and got up to 160, which is just under my max of 163. I think my total treadmill time was about 10 minutes.
No "results," but something should be posted to my online chart later today and my primary doc will contact me in a few days. Now, I need to go shovel snow, which will probably be harder than the stress test.
