what is an adenosine stress test
Adenosine Stress Test. The adenosine stress test is a stress test for patients who cannot walk on a treadmill. The tracer (cardiolite) is utilized. Images are obtained before the adenosine is infused and after the adenosine is infused. This helps to determine if areas of the heart are receiving enough blood or if there are blockages (coronary artery disease). The patient will receive an IV to allow the injection of the tracer.
