RealTime Treadmill Stress Test

This video demonstrates the Bruce protocol treadmill stress test. The first 4 stages of the Bruce protocol are shown in real time.

Someone who is unsure if they can do a stress test should watch the video to judge the level of difficulty. The duration of your stress test will be determined by the person supervising your study and your exercise tolerance. It will likely be stopped at an earlier stage than what is shown.

In another video Dr Robert Baker explains why you need a cardiac stress test. You can view it here:    • Cardiac Stress Test  

General Information about Stress Test
A cardiac stress test (or cardiac diagnostic test) is a cardiological test that measures a heart's ability to respond to external stress in a controlled clinical environment. The stress response is induced by exercise or by drug stimulation.

Cardiac stress tests compare the coronary circulation while the patient is at rest with the same patient's circulation during maximum physical exertion, showing any abnormal blood flow to the myocardium (heart muscle tissue). The results can be interpreted as a reflection on the general physical condition of the test patient. This test can be used to diagnose coronary artery disease (also known as ischemic heart disease) and assess patient prognosis after a myocardial infarction (heart attack).

The cardiac stress test is done with heart stimulation, either by exercise on a treadmill, pedaling a stationary exercise bicycle ergometer, or with intravenous pharmacological stimulation, with the patient connected to an electrocardiogram (ECG). People who cannot use their legs may exercise with a bicyclelike crank that they turn with their arms.
