... so good to pass the stress ECG test


Visited the National Heart Centre to do a check up on the ticker. The cardiologist recommended that I do a stress ECG. He said if they find any abnormality then go for more detail test.

Passed the test - the good news. The bad news is that stress ECG only detects blockage of 70% or more. But since the cardiologist would not do any intervention for blockage less than 70%, I guess it makes no difference.

But for close to $500 for consultation and the test, it provided only a small peace of mind. Next time round, maybe I should opt for a MRI or CT-SCan. Just don't like the idea of being injected with radio active dye!
