A. Stress Testing Defined. Stress testing is a risk management technique used to evaluate the potential effects on an institutionâs financial condition, of a set of specified changes in risk factors, corresponding to exceptional but plausible events. Stress testing includes scenario testing and sensitivity testing (refer to Glossary). Stress testing is especially important after long periods of benign economic and financial conditions, when fading memory of negative conditions can lead to complacency and the underpricing of risk.
A standard stress test shows changes in your heart's electrical activity. It also can show whether your heart is getting enough blood during exercise. Imaging Stress Test. As part of some stress tests, pictures are taken of your heart while you exercise and while youâre at rest. These imaging stress tests can show how well blood is flowing in your heart and how well your heart pumps blood when it beats. One type of imaging stress test involves echocardiography (echo). This test uses sound waves to create a moving picture of your heart. An exercise stress echo can show how well your heart's chambers and valves are working when your heart is under stress.
