Nuclear cardiac stress testing
To see the efficiency of blood flow through your heart and spot any potential blockages, Nuclear Cardiology board-certified doctors may conduct a Nuclear Stress Test.
By definition, a Nuclear Stress Test is done to measure your blood flow at states of rest, exertion, and medication. Through the test, your doctor is able to tell which areas of your heart have low blood flow.
Typically, the complete test considers images of your heart when at rest and when under stress by exercise or medication.

Why a nuclear stress test?
Your doctor may opt for a Nuclear Stress Test if you experience symptoms such as shortness of breath and chest pain. Routine stress tests don’t specify the cause of these symptoms.
The test can also be used to help shed a light on the treatment methodology in case you’re diagnosed with a heart condition such as CAD or arrhythmia. It helps them determine how well the treatment is working and set the right treatment path. It also helps determine the amount of exercise your heart can handle comfortably.

Here are more reasons why your doctor may recommend a Nuclear Stress Test:
- To diagnose Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Coronary arteries are the main blood vessels tasked with supplying blood, nutrients, and oxygen to your heart. When plaque builds up in the coronary arteries, they become damaged or develop diseases. Symptoms such as shortness of breath and chest pains may indicate CAD. A Nuclear Stress Test may be necessary to determine if it really is CAD.
- To see the size and shape of your heart: The images taken during a Nuclear Stress Test can help determine if the size and shape of your heart are normal and measure its ejection fraction (the pumping function of the heart).
