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.

The test is generally safe, but it may cause temporary symptoms such as dizziness or shortness of breath. Inform your healthcare provider of any concerns before the test.

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.

A positive result indicates recent or current infection with the Dengue virus.

No, additional tests, such as Dengue NS1 antigen test or PCR, may be required to identify the specific serotype.

No, the Dengue IgM test is designed to detect recent or current infections during the acute phase.

Dengue IgM antibodies are typically detectable in the bloodstream for up to 3 months after infection.

A negative result suggests no detectable Dengue IgM antibodies. If symptoms persist or there is recent exposure, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

Appendectomy is the surgical removal of the appendix to treat appendicitis, an inflammation or infection of the appendix.
