Can someone tell me the difference between a dobutine stress test and a lexa scan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stress test : They are two different medications and have different cardiac effects for the purpose of stress test . While Dobutamine increases the heart rate and simulates exercise like state of the heart, lexis can works differently, primarily causing heart vessels to dilate and gives assessment of perfusion in heart.. Both provide similar end information.
