The information from your stress test will help your doctor understand how blood flows in your heart arteries when you are resting and during physical activity. Your stress test also will help you and your doctor understand what, if any, treatments are needed to help your heart work better.  \nThe most common reasons for a stress test are to learn more about:  \n3 Symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath 3 A heart rhythm problem 3 A new heart condition  \nHow does a nuclear stress test work?  \nDuring your nuclear stress test, a medicine will be injected into your vein. This medicine is called a “radioactive tracer,” and it will leave your body by the next morning. While the radioactive tracer is active, you will lie down under a special camera to take pictures of your heart. These pictures will give you and your doctor important information about how your blood is flowing in your heart.  \nThere are usually two parts to a nuclear stress test:  \n• The resting part shows your doctor how blood flows in your heart when you are relaxed.  \n• The stress part helps your doctor understand how your heart works when you are exercising. You may be asked to walk quickly or run on a treadmill, or you may be given a medication that increases blood flow to your heart just like exercise does.  \nIn some cases, your doctor may decide to do just one part of the test. Your doctor will tell you how your test will be done.  \n3  \n7  \nBenefits and Risks with Nuclear Stress Tests  \nNuclear stress tests are very safe, but all tests have benefits and risks.  \nBenefits  \nYour nuclear stress test will help your doctor know which treatments will keep your heart as healthy as possible. The information will help your doctors know if you need any more tests.  \nRisks  \n• The medicine used in this test contains a very small amount of radiation, no more than you might be exposed to in 2 to 3 years of your normal life.  \n• Less than 1 in 10,000 people who have a nuclear stress test have a serious problem from the test.  \nYour Nuclear Stress Test:  \nWhat to Expect  \nA nuclear stress test is used to take pictures of your heart to show how your heart is working and what may be causing problems.  \nGet Ready forYour Nuclear Stress Test  \nBefore Your Test  \nYour doctor or nurse will give you instructions on what you should and should not do before your nuclear stress test.

This may include over-the-counter medications.
