Nuclear stress test to monitor flecinide

Is a nuclear stress test necessary to monitor the affects of flecinide on the heart?  I've already had an angiogram that shows no artierial blockages.

The test can reveal if exercising causes or worsens the arrhythmia, and if there is any evidence of inadequate blood flow to the heart notwithstanding angiogram.  Also, it provides a basis for future tests, and it can provide an individual's  exercise tolerance and heart's pumping ability (EF).
