Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Beta blockers can lower heart rate and blood pressure, which can affect the results of a stress test by making it difficult to achieve the target heart rate. Therefore, they are typically stopped before a stress test is performed. Cholesterol medication, aspirin, and Coumadin may not necessarily be stopped before a stress test unless specifically instructed by a healthcare provider.
