Also known as an Exercise ECG or Stress Test, this test records the electrical activity of your heart while you walk on a treadmill. The aim is to assess how well your heart functions under physical stress.

Throughout the test, your heart rate and blood pressure will be continuously monitored. You’ll also be observed by an experienced doctor for any symptoms such as chest pain, tightness, or dizziness. The test typically lasts up to 15 minutes, although most people walk for about 9 minutes on average.

Upon completion of the test, you will receive a full written report with your  readings and results.
