How To Prepare For A Cardiac Nuclear Medicine Test

How can I prepare for a cardiac nuclear medicine test?

The patient is asked to fast for a few hours prior to coming to the nuclear cardiology laboratory. We want them to be well hydrated. They can take their medicines as before. If they are going to be stressed pharmacologically, which, I can mention the names, are Dipyridamole, for example, or Adenosine. Those also require the patient to stay away or to not drink caffeinated products including coffee, tea or soft drinks that have caffeine in them. This is because the caffeine interferes with the effectiveness of those drugs that we use during the procedure. Therefore, the preparation is quite simple and, again, depending upon what type of stress we use, we may ask them to stay away from caffeinated products.
