This test involves the injection of medication called dobutamine, which stimulates the heart in the same way that exercise would. Typically used when a patient is unable to exercise on a treadmill or stationary bike, it can determine how well the heart tolerates activity, the likelihood of coronary artery disease, and evaluate the effectiveness of a treatment plan.
