Bruce Symptom Limited Exercise Test

The Bruce Symptom-Limited Exercise Test is a medical procedure where a person walks or runs on a treadmill while their heart activity and physical responses are monitored. The test gradually increases in intensity until the person experiences symptoms, feels unable to continue, or reaches maximal effort. It helps doctors evaluate how the heart responds to exercise, detect potential heart issues, and assess overall cardiovascular fitness. This test provides valuable information about heart function and safety during physical activity, guiding diagnosis and treatment planning for heart conditions.
