What can I expect?
Your technologist will place a series of EKG electrodes on your chest and connect you to wires that are attached to the treadmill. Your technologist will then complete a resting EKG and blood pressure to determine your condition at rest. After that, you will start to walk on the treadmill at a low speed and the speed/inclination will gradually increase until you have reached target or feel that you cannot continue. You are in control and always remember to let your technologist know how you are feeling. Ultrasound images may be added on to improve the diagnostic accuracy of the test
