Exercise Tolerance Test (ETT) at Mimi Hospital
At Mimi Hospital, we are committed to offering advanced cardiac diagnostic services with the help of skilled professionals and state-of-the-art equipment. One of our key diagnostic tools is the Exercise Tolerance Test (ETT), designed to assess how your heart performs under stress.
What is ETT?
The Exercise Tolerance Test (ETT), also known as a treadmill test or cardiac stress test, is a non-invasive procedure that evaluates the heart’s response to physical exertion. It is particularly useful in diagnosing coronary artery disease, evaluating exercise-induced arrhythmias, and determining a safe level of exercise for cardiac rehabilitation.
How the ETT Works
During the test, the patient walks on a treadmill following a set protocol that gradually increases in speed and incline. Throughout the test, the patient’s heart rate, blood pressure, and electrocardiogram (ECG) are continuously monitored. Any changes in heart rhythm, blood pressure, or ECG pattern can help identify issues such as poor blood flow or irregular heartbeats.
