At Sparsh Diagnostic Centre we use the latest Treadmill Test machine from Swiss giant Schiller. The state of the art Treadmill Test machine is equipped with the Digital Signal Acquisition Module which eliminates noise & gives distortion free ECG signals.
How should I prepare
1) Prior appointment is required for Treadmill Test. 2) For Males: You might be required to shave your chest for Treadmill Test and ECG. 3) Prior to a stress test one should not eat or drink for a couple of hours. You should however be very well hydrated before you begin. One may also be asked to refrain from smoking prior to the test. If you are undergoing some kind of medical treatments take all your medications prior to a stress test, unless told otherwise by the physician in charge. All individuals who use heart medications and inhalers for their asthma should bring them to the centre. Let the doctor know if you have diabetes; since exercise can lower blood sugar, he or she may want to check your blood sugar level before the test begins. 4) Comfortable loose clothes for exercising and running shoes are the best clothing items to wear for such a test.
