Nuclear Stress Test

A specialized test to assess how well the heart functions under physical activity/stress. During this test, an IV is placed in the arm for injection of medication and isotope. Resting and stress images of the heart are taken and compared to see if there are any complications with blood flow to the heart. For patients who are unable to walk on treadmill, a medicine can be given that increases the blood flow to the heart, mimicking the effects of exercise. This test is used to diagnose, Coronary Artery disease, Arrhythmias and to see how well the treatment is working.

"I was experiencing unusually low energy so my Internist gave me a referral to Dr Shahab. Dr Shahab tested me and found coronary artery disease and we scheduled an angioplasty with stent. The improvement was immediate. Two additional procedures added three more stents. I have no physical restrictions and lead an active life at age 77."
