About Stress Echo
Stress Echo combines exercise stress testing with echocardiography to evaluate how the heart performs under physical stress. It detects coronary artery disease and assesses heart function during exertion.
This test helps identify blockages in coronary arteries that may not be apparent at rest. The heart is imaged before and immediately after exercise to compare its function under stress and at rest.
Stress Echo is one of the most accurate non-invasive tests for detecting coronary artery disease and evaluating cardiac risk before surgery.
