Question:

How often should I have a nuclear stress test?

I have 3-stents implanted 4-5-2004. How often should I be given a nuke/stress test? I am 78 years old.

As of today CMS (Medicare) will only allow nuclear testing every 2 years, if the patient is asymptomatic. I believe that this is a fair assessment.
