What are stress tests?
Stress tests show how well your heart handles physical activity. Dr. Sachin Khade at Dr. Khade Super Speciality Hospital Chakan, Pune provides a Stress test facility to the patient for the right diagnosis. We Know, the heart pumps harder and faster when you exercise.
Some heart disorders are easier to find when your heart is hard at work. During a stress test, your heart will be checked while you exercise on a treadmill or stationary bicycle. If you’re not healthy enough to exercise, you’ll be given a medicine that makes your heart beat faster and harder, as if you were exercising.
Stress Test is also called as “exercise stress test”, “treadmill test”, “stress EKG”, “stress ECG”, “nuclear stress test”, “stress echocardiogram”
Why Do I Need It?
Dr. Sachin Khade uses the test to:
- Help to assess symptoms, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or palpitations, to determine whether they are coming from the heart
- See if enough blood flows to your heart as you get more active
- Learn how your heart medications are working
- Find out if it’s likely that you have coronary heart disease and need more testing
- Identify abnormal heart rhythms
- Help you develop a safe exercise program.
What happens during a stress test?
The Stress test is a normal test procedure
- Dr. Sachin Khade and Dr. Khade Hospital Cardiologist will place several electrodes (small sensors that stick to the skin) on your arms, legs, and chest. The provider may need to shave excess hair before placing the electrodes.
- The electrodes are attached by wires to an electrocardiogram (EKG) machine, which records your heart’s electrical activity.
- You will then walk on a treadmill or ride a stationary bicycle, starting slowly.
- Then, you’ll walk or pedal faster, with the incline and resistance increasing as you go.
- You’ll continue walking or riding until you reach a target heart rate set by your provider. You may need to stop sooner if you develop symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, or fatigue. The test may also be stopped if the EKG shows a problem with your heart.
- After the test, you’ll be monitored for 10–15 minutes or until your heart rate returns to normal.
