A Stress Test evaluates the heart’s response to physical exertion or medication, helping diagnose heart disease and assess heart function.

Wear comfortable clothing and appropriate exercise footwear, avoid heavy meals before the test, and inform your healthcare provider about any medications.

You will exercise on a treadmill or bike while your heart rate, blood pressure, and ECG are monitored. If you are unable to exercise, medication may be used to simulate exercise.

Results are usually available within a day or two. A preliminary assessment may be provided immediately after the test, with a detailed report following shortly.
