stress echo versus nuclear
by viralhero, May 11, 2008 01:11PM
hi, would you be able to elaborate under what situations why a cardiologist would choose to do a cardiolite test over a stress echo, or vice versa? are there certain types of symptoms that would cause you to prefer one over the other? or does the nuclear test basically replace the need for the stress echo most of the time? i was wondering because i had a cardiolite test and they only did a resting echo
