To ensure a comprehensive assessment of heart health, is crucial to evaluate cardiac function both at rest and during vigorous exercise, as many arrhythmias intensify with physical activity.
\nThe cardiac stress test is designed for this purpose. During the test, the patient exercises on a treadmill, which gradually increases to elevate heart rate. This allows the physician to determine the presence of coronary artery disease or arrhythmias, or to identify other potential issues.
\nThe treadmill features an adjustable incline that gradually increases as the test progresses. Continuous blood pressure and heart rate monitoring to ensure that any abnormalities are detected and documented. An electrocardiogram (ECG) is used simultaneously to monitor the heart\u2019s electrical activity.
\nFor accurate readings, the cardiac stress test technician applies adhesive ECG Electrodes to the patient’s legs, arms, and chest. These Electrodes transmit data via cables to a computer for recording. Blood pressure is measured using a cuff placed on the patient\u2019s arm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The stress test system is a high-performance digital device capable of analyzing a wide range of parameters, including 12-lead ECG, ST and QT intervals, and more. Its software can control various medical treadmills and ergometers. The software continuously records the ECG along with heart rate variability (HRV) and automatically manages treadmill’s operation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3257,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","dgd-product-category":[8],"class_list":["post-1289","dgd_product","type-dgd_product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","dgd-product-category-medical-device"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dgdena.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dgd_product\/1289","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dgdena.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dgd_product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dgdena.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/dgd_product"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dgdena.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dgdena.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1289"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dgdena.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dgd_product\/1289\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6562,"href":"https:\/\/dgdena.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dgd_product\/1289\/revisions\/6562"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dgdena.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3257"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dgdena.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"dgd-product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dgdena.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dgd-product-category?post=1289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
