Stress Echo
Stress Echocardiography (Stress Echo)
A Stress Echocardiogram combines a traditional echocardiogram with a cardiac stress test to assess how well your heart functions under stress. Ultrasound images are taken before and during physical activity or medication-induced stress to evaluate heart muscle performance, valve function, and blood flow.
Our clinic utilizes state-of-the-art echocardiography equipment, providing high-resolution imaging for accurate assessment and early detection of heart disease.
Stress Echo is particularly valuable for detecting and managing conditions such as:
- Coronary artery disease (CAD)
- Ischemic heart disease
- Heart valve disorders
- Reduced heart muscle function after heart attacks
- Exercise-induced arrhythmias
By observing your heart’s performance under stress, this test helps cardiologists make informed treatment decisions and guide preventive care.
During the procedure, baseline echocardiogram images are first taken at rest. You will then undergo controlled exercise on a treadmill or stationary bike, or receive medication to simulate stress. Additional images are captured during peak stress to evaluate how your heart responds.
The test is safe and closely monitored. After completion, our cardiologists analyze the images and results to provide a detailed report on your heart’s function and potential areas of concern.
