About Tread Mill Test

A Treadmill Test, also known as a Stress Test or Exercise Tolerance Test, is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure performed by a Cardiologist to evaluate the heart's performance under physical stress. During the test, the patient walks on a treadmill while their heart rate, blood pressure, and electrocardiogram (ECG) are continuously monitored. The speed and incline of the treadmill are gradually increased to simulate exercise, helping to identify potential coronary artery disease, assess exercise capacity, and evaluate the effectiveness of cardiac treatments. It is a safe and standard tool for detecting abnormal heart rhythms, insufficient blood flow to the heart muscle, and overall cardiovascular fitness, providing critical insights for diagnosis and management planning.

Key Highlights

    Non-invasive and generally safe diagnostic tool.Provides real-time data on heart function during physical exertion.Helps diagnose coronary artery disease and assess risk of heart attack.Evaluates the effectiveness of medications or cardiac procedures.Determines safe levels of exercise for cardiac rehabilitation.Can detect abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) triggered by exercise./ul

Who is this surgery for?

  • Evaluating chest pain (angina) or shortness of breath, especially if related to exertion.
  • Assessing risk of coronary artery disease in individuals with risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol.
  • Monitoring the effectiveness of treatments for heart disease, such as medications, angioplasty, or bypass surgery.
  • Determining a safe exercise level before starting a cardiac rehabilitation program.
  • Investigating abnormal heart rhythms that occur during physical activity.
  • Assessing overall cardiovascular fitness and functional capacity.

How to prepare

  • Typically, you may be asked to fast for 2-4 hours before the test, but follow your doctor's specific instructions.
  • Avoid caffeine, tobacco, and certain medications (like beta-blockers) as advised by your cardiologist for 24 hours prior.

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been feeling off for months,...

I'd been feeling off for months, tired all the time with weird aches. A couple of other doctors just shrugged. Dr. Shrivarthan was different. He actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't thought about, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that wasn't showing up on the standard panel. He explained it all in a way that finally made sense. I'm on treatment now and starting to feel like myself again.
