Treadmill Test

Treadmill Test

A Treadmill Test, also known as an Exercise Stress Test or Cardiac Stress Test, is a diagnostic procedure used to assess how well your heart functions during physical activity. It involves walking or running on a treadmill while your heart rate, blood pressure, and electrocardiogram (ECG) are monitored. This test helps detect various heart conditions and assess the effectiveness of treatments.

  • Non-Invasive Procedure: The Treadmill Test is a safe, non-invasive method to evaluate heart health without the need for surgery or other invasive techniques.
  • Comprehensive Cardiac Assessment: Provides valuable information about your heart’s response to physical stress, helping detect conditions like coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, and other cardiac issues.
  • Guidance for Treatment Plans: Helps in planning appropriate treatment strategies, monitoring progress, and assessing the effectiveness of current treatments.
  • Fitness Evaluation: Assesses your cardiovascular fitness levels, which can be helpful for designing personalized exercise programs.
  • Diagnosing Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Detects blockages or narrowing in the coronary arteries that could restrict blood flow to the heart.
  • Evaluating Chest Pain: Helps determine if chest pain or discomfort is related to heart problems.
  • Assessing Exercise-Induced Arrhythmias: Identifies abnormal heart rhythms that occur during physical activity.
  • Monitoring Heart Function: Evaluates the effectiveness of treatments for heart conditions and helps adjust medications or therapies as needed.
  • Pre-Surgical Assessment: Assesses cardiac risk before undergoing non-cardiac surgeries, especially in patients with known heart conditions.
