*This code is for any kind of cardiac stress test -- it is not for cardiac monitoring at rest (i.e. without some type of physiologic stress) *Regardless of whether the stress is induced by exercise or pharmacologic provocation *Regardless of how the "measuring/evaluation" is done -- i.e. it includes standard ECG monitoring, echo monitoring, nuclear (e.g. MIBI) monitoring, other types of cardiac imaging monitoring, etc. **When cardiac imaging (e.g. echo or MIBI) is done as part of a stress test, do NOT also code the imaging itself -- it's only resting cardiac imaging that should be coded alone '''How to Code''' * A cardiac stress test is a two part test, usually done over two days and sometimes up to 5 days in between. The first part is a rest test,and injection of the tracer the second is a stress test (exercise or pharmacologic) use [[Cardiac stress test (any kind)|Cardiac stress test]] for both the rest portion and the stress portion, if they are done on separate days code each day as a separate CCI {{CCI Collection Mode}} {{CCI_Diagnostic}}
