treadmill exercise testing

Treadmill exercise testing is a medical procedure that evaluates your heart’s response to physical effort. During the test, you walk or run on a treadmill while your heart rate, rhythm, blood pressure, and electrocardiogram (ECG) are monitored. The exercise intensity gradually increases to assess how well your heart handles stress and to identify possible blockages or abnormalities in blood flow. It's commonly used to diagnose coronary artery disease, determine safe levels for physical activity, and evaluate symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath. The test provides valuable information about your cardiovascular health in a controlled, supervised environment.
