"No evidence of ischemia by clinical, ECG or echo criteria.
Deconditioned. tachycardia present before and after the test. Possible

doppler-echo was performed on this date. " etc etc

that sounds rather.. contradictory to the other thing?

It is a rephrasing of the earlier to downplay things.

it also says on my stress echo report that during the stress
electrocardiogram, as i was on the tradmill...this:

"Stress electrocardiogram":

"Stress ECG revealed non-specific ST-T wave changes. There were no ECG
changes diagnostic for ischemia."

I'm assuming they mean the actual ELECTROcardiogram they gave me as
they were doing the stress echo.
What could this mean whole St-T wave thing mean, exactly?

Would have to see your actual tracing to know what exactly was being
described.

On my EKG (electro) that I had in the office a week prior to this
stress echo, had these notes written on the ***:

1. early transition - RsR Mv2 -? mild RV strain
2. NSST D
3. Borderline RAE

What are those?

Changes we sometimes see in folks with chronic recurrent subacute
pulmonary embolic events (small clots going to the lung).

Sorry for all the questions.

Actually, those who don't ask questions are the ones that typically end
up being sorry.
