A member asked:

Had lexiscan for s.test how long does lexiscan stay in the body? would i have had a serious side effect by now? can it cause a future heart attack?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lexiscan: Lexiscan is a pretty short acting agent and by an hour after administration is pretty much gone. It isn't going to cause a future heart attack.
