Stress testing is performed to help diagnose coronary artery disease by providing information on how the heart works during physical stress.
A physician may recommend an exercise stress test because a patient has:
angina or chest pain that is becoming more severe or occurring more often
had a heart attack, angioplasty or heart bypass surgery
existing heart disease or certain risk factors, such as diabetes, and is beginning a new exercise program
heart rhythm changes during exercise
a heart valve problem (such as aortic valve or mitral valve stenosis).
To perform an ECG Stress Test, (also called exercise treadmill testing), electrodes are placed on the patient's chest and attached to an electrocardiography (ECG) machine that measures the electrical activity of the heart.
The patient exercises by walking or running on a treadmill or pedaling a stationary bicycle, first slowly and then faster and on an incline.
