Mainly used to diagnose Coronary artery disease or determine prognosis after Myocardial infarction (heart attack) or coronary revascularization (angioplasty or bypass surgery). Before doing the test, it's preferable not to eat for two hours. The patient can have water if they feel like having it. The total time is approximately an hour. The test lasts for 10 to 15 minutes. Preparation takes around 15 minutes. After taking history and checking vitals, chest leads are applied and the patient is explained that the machine will gradually increase speed and slope every three minutes. For better application of electrodes, shaving may be preferable on the chest. The test can be immediately stopped if the patient feels so or has chest pain, breathlessness, or fatigue. A doctor can also order the stopping of tests upon finding ECG changes. Most adults achieve the target heart rate in 9 minutes. A positive test means patients' ECG is showing changes of angina (lack of adequate blood supply to the heart) after workload. It means the patient is suffering from ischemic heart disease. A negative result means even at a moderate or high workload, the patient's heart is having enough blood supply and there are no signs of ischemic heart disease.
