Eastern Shore Heart Center provides nuclear stress testing to evaluate blood flow to the heart and identify potential abnormalities related to coronary artery disease. This cardiac test compares blood flow at rest and during exercise to determine whether the heart muscle is receiving adequate circulation. Patients may walk on a treadmill or receive medication to simulate exercise when walking is not possible. Nuclear imaging helps identify areas of reduced blood flow that may be linked to chest pain, shortness of breath, or other heart-related symptoms. The test typically takes about 2.5 to 3 hours, with results reviewed by Dr. Peterson to help guide an appropriate treatment plan. Serving patients in Fairhope, Alabama, our team provides convenient, accurate cardiac testing. https://www.esheart.com/services-procedures/nuclear-stress-testing/ »
