Cardiac Stress Testing

Cardiac stress testing is a medical procedure used to evaluate how well your heart functions under physical stress. During the test, you may walk on a treadmill or ride a stationary bike while your heart rate, blood pressure, and electrocardiogram (ECG) are monitored. The goal is to identify any issues with blood flow to the heart, helping doctors diagnose conditions like coronary artery disease or assess exercise capacity. This test is generally safe and provides important information about heart health, guiding further treatment or lifestyle recommendations if necessary.
