Research Notes on Myocardial Perfusion Imaging
Myocardial perfusion imaging is a test that uses a very low dose of a radioactive agent to evaluate the heart’s blood flow and function. Since blood flow to the heart is best evaluated when you increase the work of the heart, this test is usually performed along with exercise. If you can’t exercise, your doctor may use a drug that increases the work of your heart to mimic exercise.
