Stress Echocardiogram
For patients unable to exercise, a stress echocardiogram simulates physical exertion using medication while an ultrasound captures detailed images of heart function under stress.
This test is a crucial diagnostic tool for detecting coronary artery disease and heart function abnormalities in patients who cannot perform treadmill stress tests. It is a safe, non-invasive alternative that helps doctors assess how well the heart pumps under different conditions—without exposure to radiation.
