If he wants to investigate your carotids further, I'd guess that you would need to do the nuclear test. But if he only wants to investigate any possible blockages in other arteries, an angiogram is another option. I had to have one recently and it was quick. Also, if they did find a blockage, they could insert a stent at the same time.Quote

well my cardiologist keeps insisting I need a nuclear stress test and ignored me when I said I would prefer stress echo because I don't want radioactive stuff in my body. He wants me to have it because ultrasound showed some blockage in my neck arteries so I assume he thinks I may have other blockage elsewhere (in the meantime am following Dr Esseltyn's protocol to get rid of or prevent more blockage). So would the stress echo do as good a job as the nuclear test?
