Q: What is a cardiac stress test?

A:
A cardiac stress test measures heart function in response to increased heart activity. Typically, the patient is connected to an electrocardiogram (ECG) machine and a blood pressure monitor and is then asked to walk and/or run on a treadmill to increase heart rate. The ECG results and blood pressure readings help to determine if the heart rate and blood flow are responding normally to the increased activity.
