A Stress Test, also known as a Treadmill Test (TMT), is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure used to evaluate how the heart performs under physical exertion. At Khushi Heart Care & Multispeciality Clinic, stress testing is conducted using advanced monitoring systems to assess heart rhythm, blood pressure response, and overall cardiac function during controlled exercise.

During the test, the patient walks on a treadmill while heart activity is continuously monitored through ECG leads. The speed and incline of the treadmill are gradually increased to simulate physical stress on the heart. This helps identify reduced blood supply to the heart muscle (ischemia), abnormal heart rhythms, or exercise-induced symptoms that may not be evident at rest.

A stress test is commonly recommended for individuals experiencing chest discomfort, shortness of breath, unexplained fatigue, or those with risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, or a family history of heart disease. It is also frequently used to evaluate the effectiveness of cardiac treatments and determine safe levels of physical activity for patients recovering from heart conditions.

At Khushi Heart Care in Kharghar, Navi Mumbai, stress testing is performed in a safe and supervised clinical environment with expert interpretation of results. Patients receive clear guidance based on findings, and if necessary, further diagnostic investigations or treatment plans are recommended to ensure proactive and preventive heart care.
