Exercise Stress Test
The Exercise Stress Test evaluates vascular response to physical activity, helping to identify exercise-induced symptoms and assess the functional capacity of the peripheral circulation. This test is essential for diagnosing and managing peripheral artery disease (PAD) and other vascular conditions.
The Exercise Stress Test involves monitoring blood flow and pressure before, during, and after controlled physical activity. It helps reveal vascular insufficiency that may not be apparent at rest and provides valuable information for treatment planning.
- Non-invasive and safe
- Assesses exercise-induced symptoms and limitations
- Guides rehabilitation and intervention strategies
Patients perform standardized exercise (such as treadmill walking or heel raises), while blood pressure and flow are monitored using cuffs and Doppler/PPG sensors. Post-exercise measurements are compared to baseline to assess vascular response and recovery.
- Standardized exercise protocol
- Real-time monitoring of hemodynamic changes
- Automated data capture and analysis
Exercise Stress Testing is invaluable for:
- Diagnosing exercise-induced claudication and PAD
- Assessing functional capacity and rehabilitation progress
- Guiding treatment and monitoring outcomes
- Supporting early intervention and improved patient care
This test is recommended in clinical guidelines for comprehensive vascular assessment and is a mainstay in vascular labs.
