Upon arrival, an IV will be started and a small amount of blood will be
drawn through the IV. The technologist will then tag the red blood cells
with a radioactive tracer. This takes approximately ½ hour.
You will then be given your now radioactive blood back through the IV.
This will not make you feel different in any way. It will enable us to
watch your heart under our camera checking the function of your left ventricle
and wall motion of your heart. The recording of these images last 15-30 minutes.
