About Cardiac Stress Test
A cardiac stress test monitors your heart while you exercise (usually on a treadmill) to see how it performs under physical stress. It is used to diagnose coronary artery disease, evaluate exercise tolerance, and assess symptoms like chest pain and shortness of breath during activity.
Understanding Your Bill
A stress test bill includes the test itself and physician interpretation. If combined with imaging (stress echo or nuclear stress test), the cost increases significantly.
