I have not had one, but think they inject dye into the veins then have the person walk on a treadmill and try to get their heart rate up!. Then they do an xray or MRI to see where the dye has gone and if there are any blockages!.
It is a very common test for people over 40 or that might be having some health problems!.
Don't worry until you have something to worry about!. If they find something, there are great treatments and surgeries to help these days and I am sure she will be in good hands with her doctors!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I've had 2 kinds!. The physical one, you walk on a treadmill until your heart rate gets to where the doctor wants it!. About the only immediate problem is the pains in your legs!. The chemical test is an injection that produces pretty much the same effect in your heart!.
It's to test how her heart works "under load" - when it's really called on to work!. The test is nothing to be afraid of, but ask her to discuss the reason the doctor ordered the test with you!. Once you understand you'll be less afraid!.
(The medical field has gone pretty far!. I had 2 pretty bad heart attacks and 9 years after the second one I'm still driving 35 miles to work every day!. If they're doing a stress test, it's probably just precautionary - to prevent anything from happening!. But ask her to discuss it with you - AFTER the test!. She's nervous too right now!.)Www@Answer-Health@Com
