  2. Mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_stress-induced...

    Mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia (MSIMI) is a medical condition in which acute psychological stress can trigger a transient myocardial ischemia, which is a state of reduced blood flow to the heart muscle, often without the presence of significant coronary artery disease (CAD).

  3. Cardiac stress test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_stress_test

    A cardiac stress test is a cardiological examination that evaluates the cardiovascular system's response to external stress within a controlled clinical setting. This stress response can be induced through physical exercise (usually a treadmill) or intravenous pharmacological stimulation of heart rate. [1]

    Chronic stress Coronary artery disease develops when the arteries that supply your heart become clogged with a fatty substance called plaque. The build-up of plaque is also called atherosclerosis.

  5. Coronary ischemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_ischemia

    Coronary ischemia, myocardial ischemia, [1] or cardiac ischemia, [2] is a medical term for abnormally reduced blood flow in the coronary circulation through the coronary arteries. [3] Coronary ischemia is linked to heart disease , and heart attacks . [ 4 ]

  6. Coronary steal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_steal

    Coronary steal is also the mechanism in most drug-based cardiac stress tests; When a patient is incapable of doing physical activity they are given a vasodilator that produces a "cardiac steal syndrome" as a diagnostic procedure. The test result is positive if the patient's symptoms reappear or if ECG alterations are seen. [citation needed]

  7. Angina - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angina

    The original definition of cardiac syndrome X also mandated that ischemic changes on exercise (despite normal coronary arteries) were displayed, as shown on cardiac stress tests. [17] The primary cause of microvascular angina is unknown, but factors apparently involved are endothelial dysfunction and reduced flow (perhaps due to spasm) in the ...

  8. Harvard step test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_Step_Test

    The Harvard step test, in scientific literature sometimes referred to as the Brouha Test, is a type of cardiac stress test for detecting and diagnosing cardiovascular disease. It is also a good measurement of fitness and a person's ability to recover after a strenuous exercise by checking the recovery rate.

  9. Microvascular angina - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microvascular_angina

    A first test to be taken is an exercise stress test which shows if the heart is not getting blood during exertion. Angiograms may be useful and conclusive when microvascular angina they offer a detailed image of the heart. However, they cannot detect potential abnormalities in the small arteries, and the doctor may ask for more tests in order ...
