The treadmill or exercise stress test involves exercising on a treadmill while you are closely monitored. This allows the doctor to see how well your heart functions with activity. It can detect heart problems that may not be present at rest.
During the exercise test, the patient exercises on a bike or treadmill while being monitored with a 12 lead ECG, blood pressure device, pulse oximetry oxygen consumption, and perhaps imaging with Echocardiogram, or nuclear imaging.
Center for Cardiovascular Health Standard Exercise Treadmill Stress Test What to expect: The purpose of a stress test is to check the blood flow through the vessels that supply the heart muscle (the coronary arteries). You will walk on the treadmill, having your heart rate, heart rhythm, and blood pressure monitored during the test. How to prepare:
Exercise treadmill test (ETT) detects a change in electrocardiogram (ECG) waveforms during and after exercise. ETT is used to diagnose heart disease or to assess its severity. The tests are especially useful for diagnosing coronary heart disease. They are also helpful in measuring physical fitness of patients with known heart attack.
A Cardiolite treadmill stress test is an exercise test that is helpful in detecting the presence of coronary artery disease. Coronary artery disease occurs when the heart’s vessels become partially blocked or narrowed by the build-up of fatty materials preventing the heart from receiving the blood it needs to function properly.
Treadmill Stress Test A regular cardiac exercise stress test is a non-invasive test. This test measures electrical (EKG/ECG) changes to your heart during exercise. This test takes 45 minutes. The results of this test help your doctor diagnose coronary artery disease (CAD).
If a patient is able to achieve the target heart rate, a regular treadmill stress test is capable of diagnosing important disease in approximately 67% or 2/3 rd of patients with coronary artery disease.
