Nuclear Stress Test in Chair was so easy.

Had the Nuclear Stress test in the apparatus similar to a dentist chair. It was a Lexi Scan with injection but did not have to lay flat and was less than half the time of the round donut looking machine. My cardiologist did not have the newer technology he wrote me a referral to go to a cardiologist who had the machine in her office. If any of you are like me and a bit claustrophobic than this is the test for you. Google Lexiscan in chair and you will see how much better it is.

There is enough to worry about with AFIB than have to worry and be uncomfortable taking a test.

Best,

Cynthia

I agree 100%. I won't do MRI's. This procedure described was a piece of cake!
