We will conduct cardiological tests on a treadmill for calculating your heart’s strength of reacting to excess stress conditions in the medical environment. As a patient’s body works harder during the test, it requires more oxygen, so the heart must pump more blood. The test can show if the blood supply is reduced in the arteries that supply the heart.
This test will involve walking in place on a treadmill while monitoring the electrical activity of your heart. Throughout the test, the speed and incline of the treadmill increase. It will help us determine how well your heart responds to the stress of different levels of exercise. Bharat Clinic’s treadmill tests help in,
- Assessing unexplained but steady chest pain and determine if the cause is coronary artery disease
- Assessing if there are abnormal heart rhythms
- Evaluating the effectiveness of therapy or medication for chest pain or irregular heartbeat
- Checking whether sufficient blood flows to your heart as you get more active
- Checking how well your heart valves are working
- Checking whether the arteries have re-narrowed after angioplasty, especially if there is chest pain or other symptoms
- Detecting if symptoms such as fainting, palpitations or dizziness are related to heart disease
- Determining the ability of the heart to withstand exercise in persons who have heart disease, have had a heart attack or heart surgery
- Developing a safe exercise routine
- Screening for CAD (Coronary Artery Disease) in a person with no symptoms, especially if the individual is prone to CAD
