Exercise stress echocardiogram

Exercise stress echocardiogram

A procedure that combines echocardiography with exercise to evaluate the heart's function at rest and with exertion. Echocardiography is an imaging procedure that creates a picture of the heart's movement, valves, and chambers using high-frequency sound waves that come from a hand held wand placed on your chest. Echo is often combined with Doppler ultrasound and colour Doppler to evaluate blood flow across the heart's valves.
