The nuclear stress test and the stress echo both test the condition of the heart under strain. A nuclear stress test can use treadmill testing or regadenoson (instead of Dobutamine). In some cases, the nuclear stress test offers a clearer image. However, the procedure takes longer than a traditional stress test, and results are often not immediately available until a technician processes them for the cardiologist to review.
