CARDIAC STRESS TEST USEFUL, BUT NOT A CATCH-ALL
2010
Overview
As many heart disease patients discover, a treadmill analysis often isn't enough. Six months after a \"normal\" stress test, surgeons cracked open [Marc Wallack]'s chest for quadruple bypass surgery. An artery was 95 percent blocked. Not always. Heart attacks arise from what cardiologists call a \"vulnerable plaque,\" which can be thought of as a pimple in the artery. These pimples can suddenly erupt - no one knows why - releasing chemicals from the artery that trigger a blood clot to form. \"It's possible for a plaque to evolve from a 20 percent narrowing to a complete blood clot - causing a heart attack - in a matter of minutes,\" said preventive cardiologist Steve Devries, an associate professor at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Wallack, who ran a marathon after his open heart surgery, still gets his annual stress test. But it's even more important to pick the right cardiologist, he said. \"If you have a heart history, are hypertensive or have high cholesterol or diabetes, choose carefully,\" he said. \"A cardiologist becomes a key person in your life.\"
