Description:

Stress testing with nuclear imaging. Stress test allows doctors to look for evidence of coronary artery disease that is decreasing the amount of blood supply to the heart. This is called ischemia. The nuclear scan can show your doctor which area of the heart is not getting the blood well enough during exercise. Video courtesy of eMedTV.com
