What are the Alternatives to Pharmacologic Stress Tests?
While pharmacologic stress tests are highly valuable, there are alternatives that might be considered based on the patient's condition and specific needs: - Echocardiogram: A non-invasive ultrasound of the heart that provides images of heart structures and function. - Cardiac MRI: A detailed imaging technique that offers comprehensive views of the heart and blood vessels. - Traditional Stress Test: For patients who are capable of physical exercise, a traditional stress test might be used.
