A coronary angiography allows the doctor to visualize the arteries of the heart, known as the coronary arteriesThe two coronary arteries, the right and the left, form the blood network that supplies the heart with oxygen and nutrients. They are located directly on the surface of the heart and branch into smaller vessels that. It makes it possible to detect obstructions, such as atheromatous plaques, in these vessels.

Dobutamine stress echocardiography helps to indirectly determine if there are significant obstructions in the coronary arteriesThe two coronary arteries, the right and the left, form the blood network that supplies the heart with oxygen and nutrients. They are located directly on the surface of the heart and branch into smaller vessels that.

The test is performed using a medication, dobutamine, to stimulate the heart instead of using a treadmill, and a cardiac ultrasound to observe how the heart’s contraction responds to the simulated stress.

Persantine myocardial scintigraphy, also known as “MIBI persantine” or “MIBI dipyridamole,” is a nuclear medicine imaging test.
It helps to indirectly determine if there are significant blockages in the coronary arteriesThe two coronary arteries, the right and the left, form the blood network that supplies the heart with oxygen and nutrients. They are located directly on the surface of the heart and branch into smaller vessels that.
The test is performed using a radioactive tracer that ‘follows the path’ of oxygen in the heart muscle.

Treadmill Stress Echocardiography helps to indirectly determine if there are significant obstructions in the coronary arteriesThe two coronary arteries, the right and the left, form the blood network that supplies the heart with oxygen and nutrients. They are located directly on the surface of the heart and branch into smaller vessels that. The test is performed using a treadmill and a cardiac ultrasound to see how the heart’s contraction reacts to effort.
