Nuclear Stress Test Beverly Hills

Nuclear Stress Test

You have probably heard of an exercise stress test, which can be used to evaluate the performance of your heart while it is being asked to work hard. That is a valuable test, and one which we can perform for you when you choose to visit Beverly Hills Cardiovascular. To go a step further, you may be requested to perform a nuclear stress test, which is similar to a traditional stress test, only with the addition of a radioactive material that is injected so it can be seen as it flows through your bloodstream. If you need to complete a nuclear stress test Beverly Hills as part of your heart health evaluation, or if you are wondering about nuclear stress test side effects, Beverly Hills Cardiovascular is here to serve you. Before and After The idea of a nuclear stress test is to compare the heart before and after exercise. Once the tracer material is injected, pictures of the heart will be taken for the ‘before’ photos. Then, you will be asked to exercise in some form, likely by either walking on a treadmill or riding a stationary bike. Then, more pictures will be taken, so the ‘after’ photos can be compared to the ‘before’ to see what has changed.

Of course, it’s always a good idea to get information about any examination or treatment you will be undergoing, so feel free to ask any questions of your doctor before getting started. You may want to know about possible nuclear stress test side effects, or you might have concerns about your ability to handle the exercise required in a nuclear stress test. Whatever it is, put your worries to bed before getting started so you can simply follow directions and help the doctor get all the information required to assess your heart health.
