Lets understand the role of a stress ECG test in
Houston.

• The test gauges symptoms stemming from a
  patients heart. Common symptoms include chest
  pain, shortness of breath, and palpitations.
  Though stress ECG is mainly relevant to the
  heart, it will confirm whether or not the
  symptoms are coming from the heart.

• The test ensures that there is adequate blood
  flow to the heart as the intensity of exercise
  increases. During the patients exercise, the
  test detects signs of ischemia (lack of oxygen)
  or angina (chest pain) in the heart muscle.

5

• If a heart patient is on medications, the test
  will monitor their effects. In other words, this
  test makes sure that the medications the patient
  is taking are appropriate or not.

6

• It finds any abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia)
  throughout or after exercise. The test can give
  you an indication of a risk of sudden cardiac
  death.

7

• It estimates the exercise capacity and the peak
  oxygen uptake of the heart, which are strong
  predictors of cardiovascular and overall
  mortality.

8

• It helps design a safe and productive exercise
  program for the patient. The exercise program is
  based on their heart condition and fitness level.

A stress ECG test in Houston is up to par. The
city has hospitals equipped with ECG testing
equipment. Patients go and get treated at these
hospitals, managing their heart health.
