Stress testing is a form of deliberately intense or thorough testing, used to determine the stability of a given system, critical infrastructure or entity. It involves testing beyond normal operational capacity, often to a breaking point, in order to observe the results.
19 Σεπ 2022 · A chemical stress test is a common, safe, and effective test that can simulate the heart’s response to exercise. This test is commonly used when a standard exercise stress test isn’t an...
1 Σεπ 2022 · A main objective of stress testing is to assess the functional or physiological consequences of anatomic coronary artery disease (CAD). The traditional gold standard test for the diagnosis of CAD is invasive coronary angiography via cardiac catheterization.
Stress testing is less invasive and less expensive than cardiac catheterization, and it detects abnormalities of blood flow; however, it is less accurate for diagnosis in patients with a low pretest likelihood of CAD. It can define the functional significance of abnormalities in coronary artery anatomy identified with coronary angiography ...
