A nuclear heart scan, اسکن قلب also known as a nuclear stress test or myocardial perfusion scan, plays avital role in diagnosing varioustypes of cardiac conditions. These conditions are often characterized byatypical heart structures or electrical conduction patterns that can lead tosevere complications if left undiagnosed or untreated.
Inherited cardiac conditions such asarrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy are known to increase the risk ofsudden cardiac death, particularly in young individuals. A thorough diagnostic evaluation isnecessary for identifying these conditions early on, which in turn helps indesigning preventive measures and treatment plans.
