Adenosine Stress Test

An Adenosine Stress Test is a medical procedure used to evaluate how well your heart handles stress. It involves injecting a medication called adenosine, which temporarily widens your coronary arteries, simulating the effects of exercise. During the test, your heart's activity is monitored through EKG and images of your heart are taken to detect any areas with reduced blood flow. This helps doctors identify blockages or narrowings in the coronary arteries that could cause chest pain or other heart issues. The test is safe and provides valuable information to guide treatment decisions.
