You
will begin the study by walking on a treadmill while a cardiologist supervises
the test. For those who are unable to walk on a treadmill, an injection
of a "pharmacologic stressing" agent will be given. Near the end of the
exercise phase, the radiotracer will be injected. Soon following, a set
of images of the heart will be taken. It is always necessary to take an
additional set of images of your heart at rest. These images may be taken
prior to your exercise test or a few hours after the first set of images
is completed.
