Stress testing is a vital tool for assessing how well your heart functions under physical exertion. It helps detect coronary artery disease, evaluate symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath, and determine your overall cardiovascular fitness. By monitoring heart rate, blood pressure, and electrical activity during exercise or medication-induced stress, we can identify potential issues early and guide treatment plans to improve heart health.
