My father 66 yrs old went and had a Nuclear Stress Test last week and had an accident and died. The stories I am getting are confusing but some people are saying he only had 1 & 1/2 beers but his blood alcohol level was 0.09. What I am wondering is what are the effects of having this test and then drinking afterwards? Can it cause a heart attack? I attached the picture of the test results. Is there a possibility that the drugs used could change the results of the blood alcohol levels? I guess I'm trying to make sense out of something that does not make sense. Any answers are appreciated. Updated photo

My condolences on your sad loss. It is natural for you to wonder if there is any connection between having the Stress Test and the subsequent events. The Test results would seem to indicate minimal functional heart damage only evident by poorer blood flow when under stress conditions. This could result in some angina - like pain with effort. The ejection fraction measured was well within the normal range. I hope this helps.
