ECG Stress
ECG during exercise
A Stress ECG or Exercise ECG:
is performed by a Cardiologist and a Cardiac Technician
generally takes 30-60 minutes to compete depending on findings
is conducted at a Medical Clinic or Hospital
Procedure
Similar to a resting ECG, electrodes are placed on the upper torso (upper body).
A resting ECG is performed initially whilst the applicant is lying down however, they will be asked to walk on a treadmill, slowly increasing the speed to a gentle jog.
During this process, the applicant's blood pressure is monitored at regular intervals and the heart is monitored constantly.
Preparation
Applicants should wear comfortable clothing and sports or running shoes for this test.
Applicants should not eat for two hours prior to this test to avoid any nausea.
If applicants are diabetic or take any medication, they will need to seek further instructions.
