Cardiac Stress Testing
Cardiac Stress Testing
A stress test records the heart's rhythm, rate, and blood pressure while you walk on a treadmill, revealing changes that may not appear at rest.
When It Is Typically Used
- Chest Pain or Shortness of Breath — Symptoms that appear with activity are best evaluated during activity.
- Heart Disease Screening — Testing supports risk assessment in patients with several cardiac risk factors.
- Treatment Follow-Up — Repeat testing can show how well a treatment plan is working.
Working Alongside Other On-Site Services
Stress testing complements in-office EKGs and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
What to Expect
You are monitored throughout by clinical staff. Wear comfortable shoes and clothing you can walk in.
