The test involves injecting a radioactive dye into your bloodstream and a few (10-15) minutes on a treadmill to ensure the dye works its way throughout your system. Pictures are taken afterwards (usually the heart/circulatory system) to check for blocked arteries. No after-affects noted. Entire procedure takes about an hour.

I've done the treadmill test. No big deal except they make you walk really fast.:lmao: My Dr. was Amish Shaw, he was pretty cool.
