Nuclear Cardiac Stress Test: This is another form of stress test to detect heart disease in patient at risk.
The test consists of two parts.
First part: A medicine is given through the I.V to increase the heart rate. A second medicine which binds to the heart muscle is also given. Then you go through a scanner where multiple pictures of your heart is taken.
Second part: After 30 minutes to an hour delayed images are again taken.
CAUTION: You should not smoke, drink coffee, or take certain heart medicines like Nitrate, beta blocker which can interfere with the test results. Ask your doctor specifically about this!!!
