Exercise Tolerance Tests

Exercise Tolerance Tests (ETTs) are medical assessments that measure how your heart and lungs respond to physical activity. During the test, you walk or run on a treadmill or pedal a stationary bike while your heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing are monitored. The goal is to evaluate your cardiovascular fitness and identify any problems with blood flow or oxygen delivery during exertion. ETTs help diagnose conditions like angina or arrhythmias, assess the severity of existing heart disease, and guide treatment plans. They are safe, controlled, procedures conducted by healthcare professionals to provide valuable insights into your physical health.
