Stress Echocardiography
This test involves having a patient walk on a treadmill
while their blood pressure, heart rate and EKGs are continuously monitored
by trained personnel. A cardiac sonogram (echocardiogram) is performed
before and after the patient walks on the treadmill in order to actually
see the walls of the heart. This allows the doctor to evaluate the heart’s
response to exercise, the heart’s circulation and valve and heart
muscle function.
