Cardiac stress tests are often ordered by doctors to investigate potential problems with the heart. They can help identify blockages and other potential problems without using invasive procedures like a heart catheter.

In this video, I talk about the different types of heart stress tests (also called cardiac stress tests). There are many types, and sometimes different names are used. You may have heard terms like cardiac stress test, echo stress test, chemical stress test, nuclear stress test, lexiscan stress test, cardiolite stress test, treadmill stress test, adenosine stress test, thallium stress test, or dobutamine stress tests. All of those names correspond to a particular drug or method of stress testing.
