Best Answer

A nuclear heart stress test is completed by having the patient run on a treadmill, whilst exercising medication is injected, once this has reached the heart it will show the blood flow. This test gives the Dr a clear idea if your heart muscle is working properly. If you have heart stress test done, as an outpatient Medicare will pay 80%; just ensure your Dr has written down the correct code for diagnosis.
