2. 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.

3. Cardiology diagnostic tests and procedures - Wikipedia

   With a maximal stress test the level of exercise is increased until the person's heart rate will not increase any higher, despite increased exercise. A fairly accurate estimate of the target heart rate, based on extensive clinical research, can be estimated by the formula 220 beats per minute minus patient's age.

4. Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catecholaminergic...

   Treadmill exercise stress testing. Exercise testing, commonly performed on a treadmill or stationary bicycle, can help to diagnose CPVT. During the test, those with CPVT often experience ectopic beats, which may progress to bidirectional and then polymorphic ventricular tachycardia as the intensity of exercise increases. [23]

5. 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.

7. Cardiomegaly - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiomegaly

   This test helps diagnose heart rhythm problems and assess the damage to a person's heart from a heart attack. Echocardiogram: This test uses sound waves to produce a video image of the heart. With this test, the four chambers of the heart can be evaluated. Stress test: A stress test, also called an exercise stress test, provides information ...

   “We have been using these tests for decades, but this is a nice study to help remind us that heart disease is still the number one killer of women,” says Dr. Bradley Serwer, MD, an ...

9. Diagnosis of myocardial infarction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnosis_of_myocardial...

   The diagnosis of myocardial infarction requires two out of three components (history, ECG, and enzymes). When damage to the heart occurs, levels of cardiac markers rise over time, which is why blood tests for them are taken over a 24-hour period. Because these enzyme levels are not elevated immediately following a heart attack, patients ...
