Stress Test Systems

What are Stress Test Systems?

Stress test systems, these are devices used to provide information on the heart works during physical stress. It is very easier to diagnose some heart problems when the heart is working hard and beating faster.

During stress testing, it is recommended that you are on exercise (walk or run on a treadmill or pedal a stationary bicycle) this makes your heart to beat fast.  Tests are carried out on your heart during exercising.

You may have arthritis or some other condition that prevents you from exercising during the stress test. If this is the case, your doctor can give you the medication to make your heart work hard, as it is during your physical activity.

How Stress Test Systmes Work

Stress Test Systems work by showing how blood circulates in the heart muscle and reveals heart parts that are not contracting strongly. They can also show parts of the heart that do not get enough blood, as well as dead tissue in the heart, where there is no flowing blood. (Heart attack can lead to cardiac death.) If your stress testing points to congenital heart disease, your doctor may be asking you to have more tests and treatments.

Where Stress Test Systems are Used

Stress Test Systems shows the way your heart works during physical stress (exercise) and the present condition of your heart. The standard exercise stress test uses an electrocardiogram (EKG) to follow up the changes in the electrical activity of your heart. The image of the rate at which blood flows through the heart is taken with the use if imaging tests. They also show your heart valves and the movement of your heart muscle.

Doctors use both types of stress tests to find signs that the heart does not get enough blood during exercise. Abnormal test outcome can occur as a result of coronary artery disease or other factors, such as poor physical fitness. Imaging stress tests are more accurate than standard exercise stress tests but are much more expensive.
