CARDIOLITE EXERCISE TEST - View Video
The Cardiolite Exercise Test evaluates the adequacy of
blood supply to the heart muscle.
The heart muscle
receives blood from vessels called coronary arteries.
If these arteries become partially blocked or
narrowed, the heart muscle may not receive the
blood it needs to function properly. This narrowing
of coronary arteries is called coronary artery
disease (CAD).
With CAD, the heart muscle may not receive sufficient
blood supply during exercise or when under stress, which may result in chest
pain called angina or other symptoms, or may not
produce any outward physical signs of the problem.
A Cardiolite Exercise Test is useful in detecting
the presence of CAD.
