subject: How Nuclear Cardiac Stress Test Ensures Healthy Heart? [print this page] The health care industry has witnessed a lot of advancement from past decades. Following the massive boom, so many innovations have come up to treat the health ailments that you could have imagined. Of these, the most widely used treatment is the Myocardial Perfusion Imaging, the test, which is generally used to check the actual flow to heart muscle.
The Nuclear Cardiac Stress is usually done for the patients to check the required flow of the blood to the heart for pumping. It mainly happens when the patient is suffering from deep stress or threats. This sometimes results to the biological situation in which the patient fails to respond actively to the surroundings both in a physical and emotional way. He becomes lethargic and complains frequent heart aches.
It is done when the patient is in the resting position or doing some kind of exercise. This would help to assess the actual flow of blood to the heart muscles. How patient react to both the situation to accelerate the proper working of the human body.
It works exactly the same way to check the right flow of gas to the car engine for its effective running on the road. If you have a scanty fuel or the passage of gas flow is narrow in nature, then it is obvious that car would not accelerate properly. However, you have found that car has enough gas supply when it is in the resting position but fails to accelerate properly because of the narrow passage of the fuel.
Thus, it apply the same to heart as well, when the patient have narrow arteries, then it is quite possible that he may not receive the proper blood supply to the heart for enough pumping this will result to slow working mechanism of body. But when the body is accelerated by the exercises, the flow of blood to the arteries increases drastically, thus, it helps the body to work fast than usual to perform the desired function, i.e. pumping the heart to accelerate high amount of blood that entirely flows into the whole body.
According to renowned cardiologist, this particular test is conducted in approximate 30 to 40% patient, who fails to accelerate the adequate amount of blood supply to the body. When the exercise test is conducted on the patient, the doctor gets to know the actual strength of the patient's body to accelerate the blood flow.
If the patient is found below on acceleration rate on Nuclear Cardiac Stress Test, then he is put on medications to serve the desired purpose of the adequate flowing of the blood to the heart valves and other parts of the body.
