P.S. I think many doctors like to use the stress test procedure because it can be done in their office and offers little risk provided the patient doesn't have a heart attack or stroke during the test. The gold standard (IMHO) is the angiogram. It is done in a hospital and involves inserting a device into a main artery to make it possible to get accurate images of the blood flow through major arteries to the heart. It is a riskier procedure, but provides much better information IMHO.
