A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭
Columbia, NC

Hello team, Recently I had a CT scan of my heart. Found were 4 arteries with plaque! It was advised I have a Nuclear Stress Test! After hearing procedure and speaking with friends who experienced the test, I am not wanting to take test! Any comments would be appreciated!

Yes, you should go and get this test. It can tell the Doctor's a lot about your condition.
I had one and it was not bad at all.
Have a good week-end.
