What is an adenosine stress test?

An Adenosine Stress Test uses the drug Adenosine to stress your heart. Adenosine causes the body to respond as if it were exercising. It will show the blood flow to the heart using pictures taken with a special camera.

During this stress test you will have an IV in your arm so that the nuclear medicine technologist can inject the drug Adenosine and the imaging drug Thallium or Sestimibi into an IV in your arm. The test takes approximately 5 hours. If you are pregnant or nursing, check with your doctor before scheduling the test.
