I hope this helps someone. When I first was diagnosed and asked about meal planning software on various forums and newsgroups - no one said anything. These programs would have made my earlier days a lot less stressful.
When using EKG and blood pressure monitoring alone the test is variously called a cardiac stress test, exercise stress test, exercise treadmill test, exercise tolerance test, stress test or exercise ECG test. Heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, EKG, and how tired you feel are monitored during the test.
Tracing showed T wave inversion and ST wave inversion in lead 3. Have then had normal Echo, stress ECG and 24 hour Holter monitor. What could be the reasons for these ECG findings if my heart appears otherwise normal?

Segments are scored for calcium (soft plaque between inner and outer lining) as well as the lumen (vessel cavity) that is evaluated with the stress test. Images at different angles of the vessel are taken and with the equipment software the images are compiled into a 3-D format.
The degree of soft plaque is quantified within the 4 major ateries and given a nurmerical score that the medical profession evaluates.
Good point. Yes, the subject of reliability should differentiate arrhythmia from heart dimensions, structure, and diseases, and that may not have been done here. Better evaluation with other testing procedures for heart disorders exclusive of rhythm maladies.
"Healthy people who take the test are at very little risk. It's about the same as if they walk fast or jog up a big hill. Medical professionals should be present in case something unusual happens during the test.
5T machines are gaining on the 3T by virtue of better software. If the center is keeping up with the new technology, you may be losing little or nothing at all by get imaged on a 1.5T.
Don't lose any sleep over it. I'm trying to decrease the emphasis (that I created) over worrying whether we get MRIs on a 3T machine.
I have been advised to periodically get my blockage checked. My question is whether for such check-up stress echocardiography (either dobutamine or exercise) would be more accurate and more informative than echo colour doppler screening followed by the usual TMT.
I am typing this using Dragon naturally speaking voice recognition software. In other words I'm not using the keyboard I'm simply dictating into a microphone. Hopefully this will help my tendinitis ( tennis elbow) heal faster. Not much of the test but it does seem to be working pretty well and hopefully will make both my physical therapist and myself and the tendons in my forearms very happy.
I forgot to mention I am a software Engineer and sometimes I have to work in night shifts. I have been in night shifts during the course of medicine.
It was " suggested " that I have a stress test. It's not mandatory so I'm wondering if I should have one done at all. Has anyone had a stress test? If so what did the results reveal?
In a low risk pregnancy a non stress test or stress test would only be warranted if their was a concern. However diabetics (both gestational and non) have a higher rate of stillborn babies (still rare, but better to be safe) so its common practice to keep a closer eye as the pregnancy nears the end.
Has anyone had to a stress test type of thing?
