Thoughts on Exercise Stress Test by Dr. Dirk Williams, MD
September 2022
An Exercise stress test is primarily used to help your doctor determine if your heart receives proper oxygen and blood flow when it needs it most, such as while exercising.
It can be ordered for people who have been experiencing chest pains or other symptoms of heart disease.
An exercise stress test may also be used to help determine your level of health, especially if you are starting a new exercise program. This allows your doctor to learn what level of exercise you can safely handle.
