about 10 years ago, when I failed my first treadmill stress test, my Cardiologist said I would never do the treadmill again. As a result of the 1st test, I had a stent put into my heart, via artery in groin. I now have a nuclear test every other year. That makes 5 of them and I have never minded them. I am 77 and try to be fearless of these things. Attitude helps.
