A stress EKG at Parkview Occupational Health can help physicians determine how well the heart adjusts to physical activity. As the test proceeds, the heart requires more oxygen therefore; requiring the heart to pump more blood. Medical providers are always present during the testing process.
A stress test can help medical providers predict a number of complications:
- Identify coronary artery disease
- Isolate possible heart-related cause of symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath or lightheadedness
Determine a safe level of exercise
- Predict risk of dangerous heart-related conditions such as a heart attack
