I don't understand, if you had no symptoms what prompted you to seek a cardiologist? Did you have angina? or shortness of breath? did you have fainting spells ?? feelings of discomfort when you exert yourself, you said you were asymptomatic but angina comes in many forms not just chest pain so I find your remarks confusing... I worked for USF Health Cardiology for 16 years and can recommend many excellant cardiologists just 90 minutes away if you like.A nuclear test is done rather than a treadmill test for many reasons for example because heavy smokers usually tire out and develop shortness breath before the test can be completed properly and diagnosed , or also in cases of obesity. Hope if you have any type of cardiac related disease like hypertension you will continue to seek care..
