1. 任何檢查結果都需要結合你的症狀，相關臨床表現，以及家族史等等來解讀，而不是單純地讀結果。這也是醫生需要這麽多年學習和訓練的原因。
2. stress echo是一個相對來說比較精確的檢查，但是它也存在假陽性，和假陰性。有研究顯示：stress echo的陰性正確率（negative predicative value，意思是如果結果是陰性，確實沒有事情的概率）大概是95-99%，而陽性正確率（positivel predicative value，意思是如果結果是陽性，確實有病的概率）大概是70-75%。
3. 你的這個檢查結果不正常，確實需要引起重視，需要進一步看心髒科醫生，根據你的具體情況，看是否還需要進一步檢查。看醫生的時候，可以考慮如下一些問題：
1）這個陽性結果意味著什麽，你得冠心病的概率究竟有多大？
2）是否有必要做下一步檢查（如冠脈造影）。這項檢查的利弊都有哪些？
3）在預防冠心病/心髒病上，平時都需要注意些什麽？
4）是否有必要開始吃藥或予以相關治療，治療措施的利弊各是什麽？
4. FYI，一個心髒疾病自我評估的小測試：
Risk Assessment Tool for Estimating Your 10-year Risk of Having a Heart Attack
相關的類似測試還有一些，基本上大同小異。一般來說：
- Highest risk: A greater than 20% risk that you will develop a heart attack or die from coronary disease in the next 10 years. This risk can be reduced by addressing and managing your risk factors with the help of your doctor.
- Intermediate risk: A 10 to 20% risk that you will develop a heart attack or die from coronary disease in the next 10 years. This risk can be reduced by addressing and managing your risk factors with the help of your doctor.
- Low risk: Less than 10% risk that you will develop a heart attack or die from coronary disease in the next 10 years. Continue to manage your risk factors and visit your doctor regularly to assess your risk.
