| EXERCISE STRESS TEST (Graded Stress Test)
This test examines your heart while at rest and during exercise. EKG
and blood pressure readings are taken while you exercise on a
treadmill. If you are unable to exercise, certain medications, such as
dobutamine, can be used to stimulate the heart. Combining this
information with other factors such as your age, the cardiologist can
assess your cardiac health and risk for heart attack. This test can be
performed at Lakeview Heart Center. |
