What to expect at your exercise stress test

Our Stress lab team perform stress tests to help determine how well your body functions under the “stress” of exercise. This test may help your doctor understand where to target medical therapies or determine if a surgery or catheterization intervention is needed. A well-performed exercise stress test can also assess your heart rate and rhythm during exercise to make sure you are safe to return to sports and activities. This video will let you know what your experience will be like when you come to Children’s for a stress test.
