Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Stress Echo Test?
Stress echocardiography also called an echocardiography stress test or stress echo is a procedure that determines how well your heart and blood vessels are working.
If the test is done without the use of any drug and the heart is made to beat faster by exercise, then the test is called a normal stress echo. If a dobutamine drug is used to make the heart run faster, then the test is known as a dobutamine stress echo.
The dobutamine stress echo test is useful to determine:
- If there is a decreased supply of blood and oxygen to the heart at rest as well as with exercise
- If there is reduced movement of the heart muscle
- The overall level of cardiovascular conditioning
- How quickly the heart recovers after exercise

- Estimate the risk of surgery that can cause cardiac complications
