Cardiac Stress Test. You have been referred by your physician for a stress test--an exam which shows how well your heart works during physical activity. The exam can be used to measure the blood flow to the heart as well as to see any areas where the heart has been damaged (such as by a heart attack). The test measures blood flow to the heart muscle both at rest and during stress on the heart.
Your doctor can use the results of your stress echo test to decide whether you need treatment or additional tests to evaluate the health of your heart. What to Expect. If you are going to have a stress echo test, you will be in the cardiology office for approximately 1 1/2 hours. The stress echo test will take about 30 to 60 minutes of that time. A technician will attach electrodes to your chest and back to monitor your heart function throughout the test.
