Treadmill Exercise Stress Test 運動心電圖

Treadmill is very useful in diagnosing blockages in the vessels that supply blood to the muscles of the heart (Coronary Arteries). When these arteries are blocked or narrowed, the heart muscle may not be getting enough blood when it is stressed; this often results in chest pain and abnormal E.C.G changes. An abnormal heart rate or rhythm during exercise may also indicate heart problems.

Treadmill test is indicated for patients who demonstrate symptoms such as angina retrosternal chest discomfort, chest pain relating to neck, jaw or arm, irregular heart beat or who have family history of significant heart disease.
