Heart Pumping Scan, First Pass, Rest and Stress

Rhode Island rates for HCPCS 78483

A nuclear scan that measures how well the heart pumps by tracking a tracer during its very first pass through the heart chambers. Images are recorded both with the heart at rest and while it is stressed by exercise or medicine, so the two can be compared. It gives the fraction of blood pushed out with each beat and shows how the chamber walls move.
