A member asked:
Is cardiac stress test still of value in high risk patients on beta and calcium channel blockers if they cant stop the medications prior to the test. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Beta and calcium channel blockers are medications that are commonly prescribed to treat high blood pressure and other cardiovascular conditions. These medications work by reducing the workload on the heart, which can make it more difficult to detect abnormalities during a stress test.
