Description

  • A stress echocardiography, is a procedure that determines how well your heart and blood vessels are working.

  • During a stress echocardiography, you’ll exercise on a treadmill while your doctor monitors your blood pressure and heart rhythm. When your heart rate reaches peak levels, your doctor will take ultrasound images of your heart to determine whether your heart muscles are getting enough blood and oxygen while you exercise.

  • It takes at least 1 hour for the full exam and requires preparation :

    1. You may have a light meal 2-3 hours before the test.
    2. You should avoid caffeine (coffee, tea, chocolate, etc.)
    3. You should wear comfortable clothes and running shoes during the examination.
    4. Avoid cream or soap on the upper body.
    5. Avoid smoking 4 hours before the test.
