Nuclear Stress Testing (Physical Exhertion) $641
A nuclear stress test is a study measures whether the blood flow to your heart muscle is normal or abnormal. The study utilizes a radioactive tracer to create an image of how well blood is reaching your heart muscle, both during exercise and while at rest. If you are unable to exercise, or your doctor thinks exercise is not a good idea for you, this study can still be performed by giving you a medication that produces the same kind of cardiovascular stress that is caused by exercise.Codes
