treadmill tests

A treadmill test, also known as a stress test, evaluates how your heart functions under physical activity. During the test, you walk or run on a treadmill while your heart rate, rhythm, blood pressure, and breathing are closely monitored. The goal is to detect issues like blocked arteries or abnormal heart responses that may not appear when resting. The test helps doctors assess your cardiovascular health, determine exercise capacity, and guide treatment if necessary. It is generally safe and performed under medical supervision, with monitors and emergency equipment available in case of any concerns.
