A nuclear stress test is an imaging test that shows how blood goes to the heart at rest and during exercise. It uses a small amount of radioactive material, called a tracer or radiotracer. The substance is given by IV.
A nuclear cardiac stress test helps diagnose and monitor heart problems such as coronary artery disease. A healthcare provider connects you to an EKG machine, injects a tracer into your bloodstream and takes images of blood flow to your heart before and after exercise.
A nuclear stress test is an imaging test that requires you to be injected with a small radioactive tracer that helps doctors determine how well your heart is functioning. The tracer will lose its radioactivity through natural decay in about a day or two.
A nuclear stress test is a noninvasive test used to show blood flow through the heart muscle during exercise and at rest. The test takes about 3 to 4 hours and usually doesn‘t cause serious...
Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is a non-invasive imaging test that shows how well blood flows through your heart muscle. It can show areas of the heart muscle that aren’t getting enough blood flow. It can also show how well the heart muscle is pumping. This test is often called a nuclear stress test.
A nuclear stress test shows how well a person's blood flows to the heart during rest and activity. Learn more about the benefits and what to expect with a nuclear stress test.
A pharmacological nuclear stress test is an imaging test healthcare providers use to see how blood flows to your heart. It’s also known as cardiac pharmacologic nuclear stress testing or a chemically induced stress test.
Nuclear Stress Test: What is it? A nuclear stress test is a minimally invasive diagnostic imaging procedure designed to evaluate the perfusion of blood through the coronary arteries to the heart muscle.
A nuclear stress test, sometimes called a thallium stress test, is an important test because some heart problems can only be seen when the heart is under stress from exercising. A nuclear stress test also provides important information about how the heart is functioning.
Nuclear stress test is an imaging method that uses radioactive material to show how well blood flows into the heart muscle, both at rest and during activity. A radiotracer is injected into a peripheral vein.
