What is a Myoview stress test?
A non-invasive test performed by a physician in order to determine if their patient may have the early signs of heart disease. Throught the use of a radio tracer (Myoview) a patient can be imaged after exercise and again at rest in order to determine if the heart is receiving an adequate supply of blood flow through the coronary arteries. The redio tracer (Myoview) has no side effects since it mimics the potassium used by the heart. Myoview stress testing is also used as a follow-up to post therapy and to re-evaluate a patient should symptoms reoccur years later.
