another name for a stress test
A stress test can determine if you have heart disease. A doctor or trained technician performs the test. Heâll learn how much your heart can manage before an abnormal rhythm starts or blood flow to your heart muscle drops. There are different types of these. The exercise stress test-- also known as an exercise electrocardiogram, treadmill test, graded exercise test, or stress EKG-- is used most often. It lets your doctor know how your heart responds to being pushed. Youâll walk on a treadmill or pedal a stationary bike.
