If I recall correctly, the last time I think had a stress test was in India when I went for my routine/annual check up and that was over 15 years ago. I have not paid much attention to this one but based on your research, it appears it may still be useful for identifying high risk patients? If so, I guess you are still looking at a subset of patients who have not had any major 'event' to date or otherwise blissfully unaware of their risk category? Is this interpretation correct?
Yes, exactly. I would recommend that you do a Cslcium CT scan to get a calcium score to see if you have major plaques and based on that, get on statins
