Q

Tracers for nuclear stress imaging used with/without exercise

A

Thallium

Atropine, dobutamine, and pacing- used to help increase hr and cause the stress.

Adenosine, dipyridamole- Help with dilating the areas after we induce stress, only dilate normal CA not going to evoke change in arteries that are atherosclerotic. Poor arteries/ inflamed from atherosclerosis, these wont dilate them anymore
