A member asked:
I have to have an echo cardiogram where they speed up my heart with drugs as i can't go on a treadmill. is this safe? im really scared

Similar to treadmill: Dobutamine stress test is done in patients who cannot walk on a treadmill. The drug will increase your heart rate and then a heart picture is taken. It safe as treadmill. You may experience some side effects from the medication that is transient and improves once medication is stopped.
