Stress Echocardiogram
A Stress Echocardiogram is a non-invasive ultrasound test that combines echocardiography (echo) with a stress test. This test is used to assess how well the heart and its blood vessels are working, especially under stress. During the test, an ultrasound of the heart is taken before and immediately after the patient undergoes physical exercise (like walking or running on a treadmill) or after receiving a medication that simulates the effect of exercise on the heart. This test is particularly useful for diagnosing coronary artery disease, assessing cardiac function, and determining the effectiveness of cardiac treatments.
