A

RBBB
WPW syndrome
ST depression at rest
Electrical testing

37
Q

Main indication for imaging with a stress test

A

When resting EKG makes stress EKG difficult to interpret (LBBB, WPW)
Confirmation of results if uncertain
Determine if tissue is ischemic or infarcted
Assess efficacy of revascularization
