This test is crucial for identifying various types of heart disease and crafting a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.
What to Expect During Your Stress Test
During a stress test at our clinic, you will be monitored by our expert cardiac team. Electrodes will be placed on your chest to measure your heart's electrical activity. Depending on your physical condition, you may walk on a treadmill or pedal on a stationary bike, gradually increasing the intensity. For those who cannot exercise, medication may be administered to simulate the effects of exercise on the heart.
After the test, our specialists will review the results with you, explaining what has been discovered about your heart function and what steps, if any, should be taken next. This could include adjustments to your medications, lifestyle changes, or further diagnostic tests.
