Sequence 5201, Stress Test Performed, is indicating the last type, or most recent, of non-invasive stress tests performed between birth and the current procedure. Selections include an exercise stress test without imaging, which is a continuous ECG or monitoring test without additional imaging, performed initially at rest and then during exercise or pharmacologic stress to detect the presence of coronary artery disease, abnormal heart rhythms, abnormal blood pressure response to exercise, or evaluate exercise tolerance and exercise-related symptoms. A stress echocardiogram is a cardiac ultrasound procedure obtained at rest and during exercise or pharmacological stress. Stress imaging with CMR, which is magnetic resonance imaging of the heart at rest and during exercise or during pharmacologic stress. And lastly, a stress nuclear, which is a nuclear stress test that measures blood flow to the heart at rest and during exercise or pharmacological stress by comparing the distribution throughout the heart of a radioactive dye injected into the bloodstream.
