Specific Tests Articles

Exercise stress test
An exercise stress test is a general screening tool to test the effect of exercise on your heart. The test gives a general sense of how healthy your heart is. During the test, the electrical activity of the heart is measured while you walk on a treadmill or pedal a stationary bicycle. This measures the heart's reaction to your body's increased demand for oxygen. (See also sestamibi and thallium stress tests .)

Stress Test
Used to evaluate heart function, a stress test requires that a patient exercises on a treadmill or exercise bicycle while his or her heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, electrocardiogram (ECG), and feeling of well being are monitored. Purpose When the body is active, it requires more oxygen than when it is at rest, and, therefore, the heart has to pump more blood.

HDL test
HDL stands for high density lipoprotein, a form of "good" cholesterol. Lipoproteins are proteins in the blood that move cholesterol, triglycerides, and other fats, called lipids, to various parts of the body. This article discusses the blood test used to measure levels of HDL cholesterol in your blood. See also: LDL test ("bad" cholesterol; Lipid profile; High blood cholesterol and triglycerides; Total cholesterol test.
