These statistics are presented only in the hope that they may be interesting to some people. The word 'prevalence' of Insomnia usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Insomnia at any given time (i.e. people with Insomnia). The term 'incidence' of Insomnia means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Insomnia diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Insomnia).
Exercise Stress Test. A stress test, sometimes called a treadmill test or exercise test, helps a doctor find out how well your heart handles work. As your body works harder during the test, it requires more oxygen, so the heart must pump more blood. The test can show if the blood supply is reduced in the arteries that supply the heart.
A stress EKG is a type of EKG done during exercise. A resting EKG is always done before an exercise EKG test, and results of the resting EKG are compared to the results of the exercise EKG. A resting EKG may also show a heart problem that would make an exercise EKG unsafe. To learn more, see the topic Exercise Electrocardiogram.
