Nuclear stress test: Purpose, procedure & patient information (1/2)

[@dr.paulinemoyaert]

Thank you for watching my video. If you liked it, please consider giving it a thumbs up 👍. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions, I'd be happy to help you ☺.

[@TheCambra]

This is by far the best explanation I've heard so far

[@davidtiemeyer7580]

Had stress test with pharmacologic vasodilation which only elevated heartrate to 70% of maximum instead of 85%. Results were inconclusive. I should have insisted upon an actual exercise stress test as you indicated was preferable for a number of reasons. Thanks for your video presentation.

[@lorifernandez3055]

Had one done last week. Got thru it ok. Thank God

[@joyous8248]

Had this done today due to sharp pains in my heart & numbness under my chin when pains occur … but I couldn’t do the exercise due to my fractured leg .. so they gave me an injection . Cardiologist was on sight they told me just in case . It was very interesting . Hoping I have good results 🙏🏽.. Ty your video 🙏🏽🙏🏽🫠

You have a beautiful voice and accent. I have my Nuclear stress test tomorrow, good times!

[@dwen5065]

Good explanation. Thank you! I go in for one soon and this helped a lot.

[@gmvanz01847]

This is an "Excellent Explanation" of this testing procedure.

[@dr.paulinemoyaert]

Thank you, Gregory!

[@ALLINHIGHDEFINITION]

But NOTHING about the FDA warning on the chemicals used. Look at it at the FDA website.

​@@dr.paulinemoyaertmy dad cannot do the treadmill. Is the injection safe??????

[@kashifsocer]

I'm getting one in a few hours. Now I know what to expect.

[@dr.paulinemoyaert]

Good luck! I'm thinking of you!

[@bigjg904]

How did it go?

[@alokranjan6470]

Nice explanation ❤

[@dangatton7138]

thanks for your time. I was cardioverted last week. Test is in 5 days. Im on75 metropolol BID. I workout 5 hrs/week at Pickleball and swimming after about 200 yds. this is my Baseline. stopping my Metropolol I understand will let my HR. rise but it dosnt make sense to me that the test is not done at My Base line on Metropolol. Dosnt this skew the test and what if I go into Afib due to not being on the Metropolol while getting my pulse to 85% max. just wondering how you balance the 2 out..

[@Kll-z8m]

My dad is almost 80 with hip replacement he cannot do the treadmill. They want to inject him. I heard its not safe and can cause cancer????

[@VelteToledo]

I had nuclear treadmill stress test and results are normal. 3 hours after the test, I had flu shot . I’m wondering if the dye will affect the flu shot and vise versa. So far I feel fine.

[@Coltrieversandcooking]

Can it cause thallium poisoning?

[@dr.paulinemoyaert]

No, not that I'm aware of.

[@ALLINHIGHDEFINITION]

Look at the FDA warning for these chemicals.

[@JazzFan76]

My doctor scheduled this for me but i cancelled mainly because of the time they rescheduled. I'm glad I didnt go because I dont want this. The cardiologist ordered one of these because of AFib. There has to be another way. Im not doing all pf this and have radioactive things in my body. Forget that. I remember when i had kidney stones, I had to drink barium. I'm not doing anything like that again.

[@user-marsapplication]

Thank you for sharing mine is scheduled next week every concern has stressed me out. I thought this was just running on a treadmill with some wires hooked up to me. My father had to get a stress test for his CDL trucking license. He never mentioned anything injecting in him. He had 2 heart attacks and 3 surgeries because of blockages. I’m Not putting anything like that in my body. Now I’m more stressed out and I know I have something wrong. I don’t know what else can be done to find out my problem. This cost over 19,000.

[@JazzFan76]

@user-Peaceforeveryone that's the same thing I thought. I thought that I was just going to run on a treadmill with some wires hooked up. I didn't know there was all this stuff going on. I do care about my heart but I don't want to be going through all this stuff.

[@gabrielpaulsmom]

My doctor scheduled this for me never saying it was Nuclear she said a sonogram .

[@autumn3035]

[@autumn3035]

@ I never done it just done a cta and ran a tred mill saod for my age my heart goes faster then it should

[@ilyaskhan-gg7qn]

👍👍👍👍

[@boyovbusov]

What is the purpose to have this test for heart transplant patient?

[@dr.paulinemoyaert]

Depends on the specific patient. I would assume they want to test how well the heart still functions to determine when (at what time, in a month? in 2 months? in a week?) a heart transplant might be needed.

[@boyovbusov]

@@dr.paulinemoyaert thank you, but it’s post heart transplant patient.

[@dr.paulinemoyaert]

@@boyovbusov Oh, then it will be to check how the new heart is working :-)

[@boyovbusov]

@@dr.paulinemoyaert Thank you

[@aymansaeyeldin4990]

to monitor for cardiac allograft vasculopathy or narrowing of the transplanted heart arteries which is very common due to rejection and chronic immunosuppression

[@tamaracalderon6080]

You dont give the odds of someone actually having a heart attack or stroke during the chemical test... Which are 1 in every 500,000 amd death from that heart attack or stroke is 1 in 1 million. Vegas wouldnt take those odds... 😂

[@ALLINHIGHDEFINITION]

Also no mention of the FDA warning on the Lexican chemicals.

[@TheCambra]

Terdy minutes 😂
