A member asked:
What do you recommend if i had 2 stress test done a exercise one and a thallium one on both my heart rate dropped wha could cause it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thallium?: You said "thallium" but perhaps you meant adenosine or lexiscan? - these two agents are used to perform a stress test in which you don't have to exercise, thus in contrast to your first one. Both agents can cause the heart rate to drop as a side effect which has no prognostic significance.
