Description

Stress tests are tests performed at the New York Cardiac Diagnostic Center in Manhattan and supervised by a doctor to evaluate the cardiovascular system during a period of exercise and increased demand. Cardiac stress tests measure exercise capacity and identify abnormal responses to exercise. There are several different types of stress tests that are performed depending on the individual’s age, history, symptoms, and risk factors.

What Is a Stress Test?

Heart stress tests are diagnostic tests that are used to evaluate the heart’s performance under physical conditions such as exercise to measure heart rate and blood pressure during exercise. Cardiac stress testing, including monitoring your electrocardiogram, is very useful in determining how well your heart can pump blood, measuring the amount of blood that circulates through your heart during physical activity, and whether you have any blockages that may put you at risk for a heart attack.

Who Needs Stress Testing?

A Stress test for heart evaluation may be conducted to assess symptoms that are commonly related to heart disease, to see how well a patient is recovering from a heart condition, or to supervise the progress of treatment. A cardiac stress test NYC can also be used to adjust current treatment for heart failure or to evaluate arrhythmias. They are also recommended for patients with heart disease prior to surgery or starting exercise programs. Your cardiologist may recommend a cardiovascular stress test in Manhattan for the following reasons:
