Stress Echocardiogram Testing

This exam compares resting and exercise ultrasound images of your heart and its circulation with simultaneous EKG recordings (electrical). This comparison can show if you have coronary artery disease. The average exam time is one hour.

This exam will be essentially the same for the treadmill or the supine (lying on your back) bicycle.

For the test:

You will be asked to disrobe from the waist up and given a gown to wear
The technologist will then hook up an EKG monitor to you for the entire exam, and two resting EKGs will be obtained immediately
You will then have an ultrasound of your heart (echocardiogram) to assess the heart muscle, heart valves, and heart function
You will then be asked to exercise on a treadmill or supine bicycle for an average time of 6 to 10 minutes
When your peak exercise is reached, you will stop exercising and again have an ultrasound of your heart
Comparisons are then made between both sets of heart images and the EKG in order to complete the exam

Please wear or bring tennis shoes or comfortable walking shoes. If you have specific exercise desires (treadmill vs. supine bike), please let our scheduler know and your request will be accommodated.

We suggest that you bring or wear comfortable clothes to exercise in. Dresses or culottes are not appropriate attire. Exercise testing results are best done when you have not eaten one hour before the exam. Medicines may be taken as usual.

Nuclear Stress Testing Services

Similar to the stress echocardiogram tests, our nuclear stress tests measure your heart's blood flow both at rest and during an exercise stress test. Work with our professionally trained nuclear stress test technicians to get an accurate diagnosis of your heart's condition.
