What Does My Stress Test Report Indicate?

I recently had a stress test that I successfully passed without issue however, my sonogram suggested CHF. I then was seen by a cardiologist who stated I likely had little to worry about with no detected heart failure from his study. As I have made life changes with eating, activity... and being a non-smoker with currently 20 lbs over my my ideal weight. What are my chances for a long life, stopping progression or reversing any damage I have done to my heart (currently 48) if I continue to lose weight toward my ideal weight and continue to live a healthy lifestyle?

Hi thanks for asking question.

Your stress test normal that is suggesting good functioning of cariorespiratory work.

If you still want to do further work up then echo cardiography or ECG can be done.

Do you have hypertension? If it present chances of heart failure more.

If heart failure present then you might have fluid collection means edema somewhere if it is progressive.


Meanwhile continue with healthy lifestyle
-low salt
-avoid stress
-low cholesterol
-green leafy veg more

Let me know you that any organic damage can t reverse back.If you had previous damage by any reason like heart attack or other then damage that already occurred replaced by scar .But it can t reverse.

With healthy life style normal life can be lived.
Don't worry

Continue with good dietary habit and regular exercise.

Wish you good health
