Stress Testing

Get your heart’s health tested

When you exercise, your heart works differently, so a stress test can help you determine how it works. A Stress Test can indicate problems with blood flow within your heart because it uses exercise to get your heart pumping harder and faster.

What happens during a Stress Test?

This test typically consists of walking on a treadmill or riding a stationary bike while your heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate are monitored by one of our cardiology specialists. Alternatively, you will be given a drug that mimics the effects of exercise.

 

If you have signs or symptoms of coronary artery disease or an abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia), we may advise a stress test.
