A heart catch is more diagnostic. Stress tests are great if the CAD elicits typical, reproducible (stable) angina or ecg changes. The ultrasounds and 3T MRIs they are doing now in conjunction with a stress are decent, though. If your doc didn't order one, after your two tests, I'm sure you'll be fine....who am I kidding? Get your affairs in order, eCat,

so my next question is - why didn't they just skip the stress and go to the heart cath if he didn't trust the results of the stress test?

When I had my strokes back in March I thought the coolest test was when they 3D imaged my heart. Watching the computer build it was pretty cool. And it proved I have one.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Jon Bon Jovi Memorial Fund.

I woke up to that on the news this morning.
At least they meant for it to come down - just not when it did.
