Exercise Stress Test (ETT)
Cardiac Exercise Assessment
An Exercise Tolerance Test evaluates the heart's response to physical stress. It involves monitoring the heart's electrical activity, blood pressure, and symptoms while the patient exercises on a treadmill or stationary bike.
An exercise stress test shows how well your heart handles work. As your body works harder during the test, it requires more oxygen, so the heart must pump more blood.
This test helps identify coronary artery disease and assess your heart's capacity for exercise.
What's Included:
- Pre-exercise ECG and blood pressure
- Continuous ECG monitoring during exercise
- Blood pressure monitoring
- Symptom assessment
- Exercise capacity evaluation
- Post-exercise monitoring
- Detailed report
What Is It?
A test that monitors your heart's response to physical exertion to detect heart problems that may not be apparent at rest.
How It Works
During the test, electrodes are attached to your chest to monitor your heart's electrical activity. You'll be asked to walk on a treadmill or pedal a stationary bike while the intensity gradually increases. The test continues until you reach a target heart rate or experience symptoms.
Why It's Important
Exercise stress tests help diagnose coronary artery disease, assess exercise capacity, evaluate the effectiveness of cardiac treatments, and determine safe exercise levels for cardiac rehabilitation.
Note: Performed at our partner clinic, The National Heart Clinic, with experienced cardiac technicians and cardiologists.
