Stress Test

What Is a Stress Test?

The stress test is used to provide information about how the heart responds to exertion. It involves walking on a treadmill at increasing levels of difficulty, while your electrocardiogram, heart rate, and blood pressure are monitored.

Referred to as a stress test, TMT, or a treadmill test, this procedure aids your physician in assessing how effectively your heart manages its workload. As your body engages in more strenuous activity during the test, its energy demands increase, prompting your heart to pump a greater volume of blood. This evaluation can unveil whether there exists an insufficient blood supply through the arteries that supply the heart.

There is adequate blood flow to your heart during increasing levels of activity.
