Adding the Stress This examination is different from a standard echocardiogram as a result of the addition of stress in the form of exercise. With stress echocardiography, there are actually two echocardiograms performed. The first is performed without the addition of exercise into the equation, to establish a baseline for later comparison. Then, after some exercise has been performed and the heart has been placed under stress, another echocardiogram will be completed to see what has changed. The structural differences between the before and after scans will offer your doctor important information that can be used to recommend care moving forward.

Have No Fear At first, you might be put off by the idea of having to go through two echocardiograms, especially if you have never had one completed before. But here’s the thing – this is a non-invasive, painless scan. Sure, you will have to perform some exercise in order to stress the heart effectively, but that’s the most challenging part of the process. Going through an echo stress test is not nearly as intimidating as you may think, and the information gained from the test can be extremely valuable.
