Cardio Stress Test

How is the Test Performed?

During the test:

1. Preparation: You will be instructed to wear comfortable clothing and avoid eating or drinking caffeine-containing beverages for a few hours before the test. Electrodes will be attached to your chest to monitor your heart's electrical activity.

2. Baseline Measurements: Your baseline vital signs, including heart rate, blood pressure, and ECG, will be recorded while you are resting.

3. Treadmill Exercise: You will walk on a treadmill at gradually increasing speeds and inclines. The duration and intensity of the exercise will be adjusted based on your age, physical condition, and overall health.

4. Monitoring: Throughout the test, your heart rate, blood pressure, and ECG will be continuously monitored to assess your heart's response to exercise.

5. Symptom Evaluation: You will be asked to report any symptoms you experience during the test, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness.

6. Post-Exercise Measurements: After reaching the target exercise level or experiencing symptoms, the treadmill will be stopped, and your vital signs and symptoms will be monitored as you recover.
