Stress Echo

Stress Echo

There’s a reason the image of a heart is used to symbolize health; optimal cardiovascular function is pivotal for good health. When there are problems with the heart, the whole body is affected. Stress echo tests give Dr. Bereliani in-depth insight into your heart’s performance, and whether or not you are at risk for cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery disease.

How are stress echo tests performed?

This monitoring test is essentially an echocardiogram, such as a color Doppler echo, which is performed to record your body’s real-time reaction to stress in the form of exercise. Your blood circulation is monitored while your body is stressed, a test typically conducted with the patient on a treadmill. Stress echo tests uncover how your heart functions under pressure.
