Stressiproovid

Stressiproovid, also known as stress tests, are a type of medical examination used to assess how a patient's heart functions under physical exertion. During a stress test, the patient exercises, typically on a treadmill or stationary bicycle, while their heart activity, blood pressure, and breathing are monitored. The intensity of the exercise is gradually increased, allowing doctors to observe the heart's response to increasing demands. This helps identify potential problems such as blocked arteries that may not be apparent at rest. Electrocardiogram (ECG) is commonly used to record the electrical activity of the heart during the test. Other monitoring may include measuring oxygen levels and assessing for symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath. Stress tests are valuable diagnostic tools for evaluating cardiovascular health, diagnosing coronary artery disease, and determining an appropriate exercise program for individuals with or at risk for heart conditions. The procedure is generally safe, but potential risks exist, and patients should discuss these with their healthcare provider.
