This test is used to estimate the amount of blood reaching the heart muscle while at rest and during exercise (walking on treadmill). A patient can have a cardiac scan without walking on the treadmill if he / she has one of the following conditions: spinal cord injury, obesity, arthritis, knee replacement, multiple sclerosis, or peripheral vascular disease.
