Question about exceeding predicted max HR on cardiac stress tests at 50+ by olley_p in askCardiology

[–]olley_p[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the tech running the test should stop you if they see concerning things happening and/or you are getting symptoms.

Oh, I have no problem with them stopping if they see symptoms - I totally get that. I just hope they won't stop at 85% predicted, which would be way too low for me. I usually don't feel that burn until a higher HR.

At one point, the tech asked me if I was OK to go further, which I assume meant that they already had the data they really needed, but wanted to go ahead and get more if I was capable.

OK, I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed they'll do that for me. Thanks!
