Are exercise stress tests overused in your practice/hospital?

Why are screening exercise EKG stress tests are used so widely on low risk people with no risk factors. Aren't there studies that just sufficient activity is a good predictor of mortality in these low risk patients? Why do we need to do these expensive stress tests on millions of low risk patients?  I've designed a survey to get to the root cause of this and would appreciate it if you could chime in with your thoughts https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/RC8NWKM Vivek
