treadmill stress test
... Cardiac stress testing can be useful in identifying partial blockages in your coronary arteries. Many times, the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD) is easily missed when a person is at rest, because at rest there may be no sign of a problem either on physical examination or on the ECG. In the ...
