Cardiac Disease Prevention

What to Expect: A Myocardial Perfusion Imaging treadmill test uses a radioactive substance (not a dye) to produce pictures of the heart muscle. The radioactive substance gives off a small amount of radiation, which can be seen with a special camera. The amount of radiation exposure during this test is very small and poses no health risk. This test will help the doctor determine if there are areas of the heart which do not receive enough blood supply due to coronary disease. This test takes approximately 4 ½ hours.

​

Patient Preparation: The patient will receive instructions on how to prepare for the test. Please avoid all caffeine and chocolate for 24 hours before the test. The patient must wear comfortable clothes, avoid certain medications, and cannot drink or eat after midnight the evening before the procedure.
