treadmill test results interpretation

A treadmill test, often called a stress test, measures how well your heart works during physical activity. You walk on a treadmill while your heart rate, blood pressure, and ECG are monitored. The results can indicate if your heart is receiving enough blood and oxygen. A normal result means your heart is healthy and can handle exertion, while abnormal results may suggest issues like blockages or other heart conditions. Doctors use this information to assess your cardiac health and recommend further tests or lifestyle changes if needed.
