Also Known As : [Pharmacological Stress Myocardial]

pharmacological stress myocardial test, doctors administer a medication that simulates exercise-induced stress on the heart to evaluate its health and blood vessels. This test closely monitors the patient’s heart rate, blood pressure, and electrocardiogram. The medication options may include adenosine, dobutamine, or dipyridamole, among others. Following the medication administration, a radioactive tracer is injected into the patient’s bloodstream, and a special camera captures images of the heart. This test aids in diagnosing conditions like coronary artery disease, heart valve problems, and heart muscle damage.
