Nuclear Cardiology
A nuclear medicine stress test gives your physician information about blood flow to your heart. When arteries become narrowed or blocked by fatty deposits, your heart may not receive the blood it needs to function properly. The inadequate supply of blood to your heart can lead to a myocardial infarction (heart attack). By determining the blood flow to your heart at rest and at stress, your doctor can provide proper treatment to help prevent this.
