Echocardiogram (Stress Echo)

An echocardiogram is a test that uses ultrasound to evaluate your heart muscle, heart valves, and risk for heart disease.

Your doctor may perform an echocardiogram to:

  • Assess the overall function of your heart
  • Determine the presence of many types of heart disease
  • Follow the progress of heart valve disease over time
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of medical or surgical treatments

Stress Echocardiogram

This is an echocardiogram that is performed while the person exercises on a treadmill. This test can be used to visualize the motion of the heart’s walls and pumping action when the heart is stressed. It may reveal a lack of blood flow that isn’t always apparent on other heart tests. The echocardiogram is performed just prior and just after the exercise.
