Nuclear stress vs regular stress test, which one to choose or just follow yr doc instructions?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: There are differences and guidelines on choosing. Given the lack of specifics in the question, I recommend to follow your doctor's recommendations especially if you trust their judgement. If that's a question, consider a second opinion.
