Stress test
A
stress test is any type of test that puts an added stress on the heart, makes
your heart work harder, and than
tries to detect if the heart is receiving sufficient oxygen. The test can be
carried out either by a bicycle or by a treadmill. During the test the ECG and
blood pressure are carefully
monitored. The test is stopped when you develop chest pain or become fatigued,
or if the ECG monitor shows changes that suggest a reduced supply of oxygen to
the heart. The test may also be stopped if it felt that you have exercised an
adequate amount, even if you do not get any chest pain or develop any ECG
changes. After the test, you will be instructed to sit down and rest for 5 to 10
minutes, since you may become a little lightheaded during the first several
minutes after the test

L’elettrocardiogramma sotto sforzo, eseguito
comunemente tramite uno sforzo fisico (con cyclette o tappeto ruotante) , è un
test che serve ad evidenziare la risposta dell’apparato cardiovascolare allo
stress. Viene comunemente prescritto per slatentizzare e valutare
la possibile presenza di una ischemia cardiaca in una popolazione a
rischio.
