treadmill testing

Treadmill testing, often referred to as a stress test, is a medical procedure used to evaluate how well your heart functions during physical exertion. During the test, you walk or run on a treadmill while your heart's activity is monitored through electrocardiograms (ECGs), blood pressure measurements, and sometimes additional imaging. It helps doctors assess heart health, diagnose conditions like coronary artery disease, and determine how much exercise is safe for you. The test usually lasts about 10 to 15 minutes, and the results can guide treatment options or lifestyle changes.
