IV Persantine is administered during a cardiac stress test for people who can't do the exercise required. Cardiolite is a radioactive tracer used so that blood flow to the heart can be seen on an xray. If you are unable to walk on the treadmill, one of two different drugs may be used to exercise your heart. These are Dobutamine or Persatine. In this case, the test is the same, except that the drugs are injected over a specific period of time, and you are not required to walk on the treadmill. Cardiolite is an isotope that is "taken up" by the heart. It flows more easily through non-diseased arteries. You will be lying on a table with a scanner overhead that will take pictures of your heart
