High calcium score: I'm in shock

Hi There.

Regardless of your calcium score if a person does a treadmill stress test ( Bruce protocol ) and hits the highest level with very strong recovery. Too me it makes sense that there is very lots of blood flow to the heart allowing for a fast recovery,

Does this make sense to everybody ? It seems to me if there was a lot of blockage it would be difficult to do well on this test.

My sense (not med prof) is that a great stress test score might hide underlying blockages based on superior physical condition ... or even arterial remodeling.

A stress test with echo is probably a better indicator of condition, combing the stress test with before and after heart ultrasound. Next test would be nuclear stress test.
