Stress Testing

Understanding how your heart performs during activity can reveal important clues about your cardiovascular health. Stress testing evaluates the heart’s response to physical exertion in a safe, controlled environment, helping identify changes in blood flow, rhythm, or performance that may not appear at rest. There are two main types of stress testing:

• Exercise stress test – monitors heart function during physical activity
• Pharmacological stress test – uses medication to simulate stress on the heart

Additional imaging such as echocardiography or nuclear scans (SPECT/PET) may be used when needed for more detailed assessment. The process is closely supervised, clearly explained, and tailored to each patient’s abilities to ensure comfort and accuracy.
