What's a nuclear stress test like? Is it safe?

Hi @stanway, As testing goes, I think you’ll find this one pretty easy. The worst part is waiting for the results and reassurances. So I wish you all the best. Will you let me know how everything turns out for you? Do you have other labs and tests besides this nuclear stress test?

No. I had a stent implanted in 2019, and had no adverse symptoms since then. I saw my cardiologist for first time in three years just for a "how am I doing" and meds check. Everything was normal, including an EKG. I think he ordered the Nuclear Test just to make sure he hadn't missed something in three years. I'm not happy about undergoing this test, with no symptoms, because of possible risks at my age (91). So I am gathering all information I can before deciding whether to cancel or not.
