Isotope scan

[MydogBrandy]

Hi has anyone had one of these? I keep getting angina after three heart attacks and one stent fitted, now I have been told I need this scan. Cheers Colin

My husband has had one. They are safe and straightforward.

Hi, thank you, do you know what it is for?

There are several types and you don't say what it's called, but it sounds like a myocardial perfusion scan to see if your angina is associated with ischaemia.
