Treadmill test also known as cardiac stress test is useful in understanding the ability of heart to respond to external stress/ exertion in a controlled clinical environment. The ECG measurements taken at maximum exertion are compared with at rest measurements to assess indirectly for the possibility of narrowed coronary arteries. The treadmill test is useful in patients with suspected coronary artery disease and also for assessing exercise-induced irregularity in heart beat. The treadmill test is generally safe in expert supervision.
