Our patient-centred approach ensures accurate cardiovascular evaluation, reliable diagnosis of heart conditions, and personalised treatment recommendations delivered with compassionate, expert care.
What Is Treadmill Stress Testing?
Treadmill Stress Testing, also known as an exercise stress test, is a diagnostic procedure that evaluates your heart’s response to physical exertion. You will walk on a treadmill while connected to an electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor, with the speed and incline gradually increasing to simulate stress on your cardiovascular system. Blood pressure is measured at regular intervals, and the test typically lasts 10–15 minutes or until your target heart rate is achieved. This allows Dr Sehmi to assess cardiac function under controlled stress, identifying abnormalities that may not appear at rest and providing valuable insights into your heart’s performance during activity.
Conditions Diagnosed and Monitored with Treadmill Stress Testing
Dr Joban Sehmi uses treadmill stress testing to diagnose, assess, and manage a comprehensive range of cardiovascular conditions, including:
Arrhythmias: Identification of abnormal heart rhythms triggered by exercise and assessment of rhythm stability during physical stress.
Exercise-Induced Hypertension: Evaluation of exaggerated blood pressure responses to exercise and guidance for hypertension management.
Valvular Heart Disease: Assessment of heart valve function under stress and evaluation of exercise tolerance.
Pre-Operative Risk Assessment: Comprehensive cardiovascular evaluation before surgery.
Athletic Screening: Assessment of cardiovascular fitness in athletes and clearance for high-intensity activities.
