A member asked:
Like others, i dread the cardiac stress test or nuclear medicine test. what else is there that can better take its place at general 6 month exam? ct?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Test: Dread? First is the question of do you need any test? If there is some information needed for decision making, the question of which test then comes into play. Discussing suggested testing with your doc is best course. If the doctor doesn't need the information, you don't need the test. All tests have pluses and minuses but patients often ask for what they don't need.
