Stress Testing
Office-based stress testing shows how your heart works during physical activity. During the test, you may walk on a treadmill while your heart rate, rhythm, and blood pressure are monitored. This service is often recommended if you have chest pain, shortness of breath, or risk factors for heart disease.
Stress testing can help identify:
- Abnormal exercise tolerance
- Signs of coronary artery disease
- Status of borderline heart valve conditions
- Abnormal chamber filling during exercise
- Abnormal heart rhythms during exercise
This test is important because some heart problems only appear when the heart is under stress. Finding these issues early can lower the risk of heart attack and other serious conditions. It also helps guide safe exercise, diagnosis of key heart conditions, and treatment plans, improving overall health and quality of life.
