A member asked:
Does a nuclear stress tell you if you have heart failure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: During the nuclear test the provider will be able to tell you if you have some degree of ischemic symptoms, but the other part oof the test is to measure your ejection fraction. This measurement is a measurement of your left ventricle function and that is one measure for heart failure.
