Ambulatoorsetest
Ambulatoorsetest, also known as the "ambulatory treadmill stress test" or "walking treadmill test," is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate the heart's response to physical exertion. This test is particularly useful for individuals who cannot exercise on a regular treadmill due to mobility issues, such as those with severe arthritis or neurological conditions. During the test, the patient walks on a treadmill while their heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels are monitored. The test is designed to simulate the physical demands of daily activities, making it a more realistic assessment of cardiovascular health compared to traditional treadmill tests. Ambulatoorsetest is commonly used to diagnose and monitor conditions such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, and other cardiovascular issues. The results of the test can help healthcare providers determine the appropriate treatment plan and monitor the effectiveness of interventions over time.
