PURPOSE
An exercise treadmill test is performed to help diagnose heart disease, monitor blood pressure response to exercise and
determine your exercise tolerance.
WHAT TO EXPECT

• You will be asked to sign a consent form giving permission for the test.
• The skin on your chest where the electrodes will be placed will first be
prepared with abrasive lotion. Male patients: your chest will be partially shaved.
This is done to ensure the electrodes make good contact, so we can accurately
monitor your heart’s rhythm.
• You will then walk on the treadmill. The physician will watch the monitor for
any changes that may indicate heart disease or rhythm problems.
• Your blood pressure will be checked frequently during the test.
• The test will take approximately 30 minutes.
Risks
Stress tests are generally safe. Some patients may have chest pain or may faint or collapse. A heart attack or dangerous irregular rhythm is rare. Persons who are likely to have such complications are usually already known to have a weak heart, so they are
not given this test.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO PREPARE FOR THE TEST
If you’re scheduled for an Exercise Treadmill Test, follow these guidelines:
Diet
• Nothing to eat four hours prior to the procedure.
• No caffeine products the morning of the procedure. Please understand that this means no coffee, colas, diet colas, energy
drinks, etc.
No nicotine the morning of the test; chewing tobacco, smoking, nicotine gum, inhaler or patch.
Medications

Bring a list of medications with you.
• If you are on a Beta Blocker (you will find a list of beta-blockers below) do not take them the night before or the day of
the test.
• If you are diabetic and taking insulin, please get specific instructions. In general when fasting, you will be asked to take
your normal dose of Levemir or Lantus, but do not take your Humalog, Novolog, or Apidra. Please bring a snack with
you to have after the test ( i.e. cheese and crackers, or your favorite).
. If you are unsure of the directions given to you, please call our office.
