Question

When scheduling a cardiac stress test, be prepared to set aside no less than 90 minutes of your day.

Answer 1

A cardiac stress test (also known as a cardiac exercise test) is an in-office exam used to measure the heart's response to physical exertion in a controlled environment. Performed commonly on a treadmill or a stationary cycle, the test is useful in diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD), a condition often missed when a person is at rest.
