title: When your patient can't take the stress.
abstract: It has been shown that results of adenosine and dipyridamole myocardial scintigraphy are at least equivalent to those provided by conventional treadmill scintigraphy. Therefore, if a patient is unable to achieve a high rate-pressure product by treadmill exercise, that individual should be considered a candidate for pharmacological stress scintigraphy.
