I'm not concerned that afib will lead to vfib. I'm concerned that the drug given to speed up your heart rate could
produce vfib. After looking at several respectable websites on chemical stress testing, I find that vib, while rare,
can occur as a result of the stress drug.

Okay, but it's not the drug; it's the stress test itself. In those individuals who experienced vfib, they most likely would have had the same outcome on a treadmill. Personally, I would prefer a treadmill, but not because I fear the drug. I would prefer it simply because when you get off the treadmill it's done. There's no waiting for the drug to wear off.

Heart failure is a meaningless term? Um, no. Perhaps I misunderstood you?

"Heart Failure" is even more general. What caused it? To what degree is the heart "failing" ? My guess is that anyone who sustains persistent afib for a few months will show decline that could be labeled "heart failure."

Why would anyone want to have radioactive material injected into your body? I’m newly diagnosed with AFib and my cardiologist schedule a Lexiscan nuclear stress test for me, even though I’m perfectly able to walk on a treadmill.
