Care with a
clear purpose.
A stress ECG records the heart’s electrical activity while you exercise, commonly on a treadmill. It helps a clinician assess the heart’s response to physical effort. Suitability and the test process are discussed as part of your clinical assessment.
What this service involves
- Review whether the test is appropriate for you
- Exercise under clinical supervision
- Record the heart’s response to physical activity
Before your visit
Ask the clinic about clothing, footwear, meals and any medication instructions before your visit. Do not change prescribed medication without clinical advice.
