Stress Tests
Stress Test
Our Stress Test is a crucial diagnostic tool designed to evaluate how your heart performs under physical stress. This test helps us assess your heart’s health and detect any potential issues that might not be apparent when you’re at rest.
What to Expect:
- Exercise Stress Test: Typically conducted on a treadmill or a stationary bike, this test monitors your heart’s response to increased physical activity. We carefully track your heart rate, blood pressure, and ECG (electrocardiogram) while you exercise to identify how well your heart handles exertion.
- Pharmacologic Stress Test: If you’re unable to exercise, we use medication to stimulate your heart as if you were physically active. This alternative allows us to assess your heart’s response without requiring physical exertion.
