I'm having ankle surgery on tuesday and a stress test the day before that doesn't use a treadmill. i'll be injected with dye. will that conflict?

Stress test: The injectate is not dye but most likely to be a nuclear agent like Cardiolyte. It will not conflict with your ankle surgery. It will determine if you have coronary disease that places you at higher risk, and if so, delay the surgery until this is taken care of. Do it.

No,: the agent used for the stress test will have no effect on the surgery.

Can a nuclear stress test be dangerous if I haven't eaten for like a week? I'm afraid I won't be able to do the treadmill because of weakness.
