45 years
My husband is 45 years old. he did the heart stress test (épreuve d'effort) and the doctor said that his heart is fine. my question is: is this test enough or we need to do arteries endoscopy?

Dr. Ziad Mansour Thoracic Surgery
The test is accurate in 95% of cases.
If he has no signs of chest pain on exertion the test is sufficient.

Dr. Feras Mahdi Internal Medicine
The test is usually enough and should be interpreted in light of symptoms, other diseases ( diabetes, high cholesterol). 

Coronary angiogram is not recommended as a screening test in the absence of significant suspicion and risk factors.
