a measurement of your heart's health under the stress of physical exercise
an ECG that is taken while you walk on a treadmill or ride a stationary bicycle
a special type of electrocardiogram that is performed while the patient exercises in a controlled manner on a treadmill or stationary bicycle, at varied speeds and elevations
A diagnostic test in which a person walks on a treadmill or pedals a stationary bicycle while hooked up to equipment to monitor the heart. The test monitors heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, electrical activity (on an electrocardiogram), and the person’s level of tiredness. It shows if the heart’s blood supply is sufficient and if the heart rhythm is normal.
a test during which electrocardiogram readings are taken while the patient exercises (on a treadmill or stationary bicycle) to increase heart rate to a predetermined point
Noninvasive diagnostic procedure in which a patient exercises while undergoing ECG monitoring; can detect exercise-induced ischemia (lack of blood supply).
A simple screening test whereby the patient is asked to walk on a treadmill machine or ride a bicycle to increase the number of times the heart pumps each minute. If the patient has CAD, the continuous ECG monitor may tell the doctor that coronary artery blockages are present. However, this test will not give the exact location of the blockages. A Cardiac Catheterization is performed later to find the location and extent of suspected coronary blockages and to confirm results of an Exercise Stress Test.
A common test for diagnosing coronary artery diesease. The test helps assess blood flow through coronary arteries in response to exercise, usually walking, at varied speeds and for various lengths of time. Also called exercise test, stress test or treadmill test.
a common test for diagnosing coronary artery disease
provides information about the ability of the coronary arteries to deliver enough blood flow to the heart when it is working hard. It is a screening test to evaluate the possibility of coronary artery disease. It usually involves walking or jogging on a treadmill.
a test that evaluates the heart's response to exercise. During the test, a person's heartbeat is monitored while he or she exercises on a treadmill, stair climber, or stationary bicycle until the training heart rate is reached.
