Stress systems (Treadmill)

The stress system is a diagnostic complex designed to monitor ECG parameters at rest and under physical exertion. The equipment allows you to evaluate the functional parameters of the heart and identify abnormalities in the organ. The stress test determines the heart rate and respiratory movements, aerobic capacity and body limits. The complex will increase the efficiency of diagnostics in hospitals, cardiology, rehabilitation and recovery centers, and research institutes.

Design and use features

The stress test on a treadmill allows you to evaluate the functional parameters of the cardiovascular system of a patient who is at rest and undergoes physical exertion. The equipment is used to identify pathologies:

• heart failure;
• myocardial ischemia;
• arrhythmia, heart rhythm disturbances.

Non-invasive diagnostics do not cause discomfort or pain in the patient. Other advantages of the solution are simple testing, accuracy and reliability of the results. The use of the technique expands the prospects for assessing the condition of the heart and obtaining data on the progression of the disease. Using a stress test, the doctor determines the patient's physical capabilities and selects an effective therapy and rehabilitation program. The stress system consists of the following components:

• a treadmill with the option of adjusting the angle of inclination and speed of movement;
• a ​​computer cardiograph with software for conducting a treadmill test;
• a monitor that displays the data;
• additional tools for testing with a load.

The stress test is carried out in stages. First, the main ECG parameters are recorded at rest. The device displays the following data:

• Periodicity, intensity, and heart rate.
• The presence or absence of heart rhythm disturbances.
• The presence or absence of heart murmurs.

At the second stage of testing, the patient is subjected to physical exertion. At the time of exertion, ECG indicators are usually recorded on 12 leads. At the third stage of the diagnostic examination, cardiac activity indicators are recorded after the patient has rested. Data on the work of the heart is recorded for 10-15 minutes, which allows the doctor to get a complete picture of the restoration of the heart rhythm.

The testing is carried out under the supervision of a cardiologist. The examination under physical exertion is immediately stopped if the following symptoms appear:

• a significant increase in blood pressure;
• paleness or bluish tint of the skin;
• an attack of angina with severe pain in the chest;
• dizziness, clouding of consciousness, darkening in the eyes.

The doctor stops the examination if the patient's health deteriorates in any way.

Stress systems: advantages and purpose

A treadmill stress test is an effective method for diagnosing the operating parameters of the heart muscle. Due to the automation of processes, the influence of the human factor on the result is reduced. The accuracy of the results is achieved by reducing the error caused by the participation of the operator. Automatic control makes the testing process simple and comfortable. Purpose of the procedure:

• Detection of heart disease in the early stages, which increases the effectiveness of treatment and improves the prognosis.
• Determination of the functional capabilities of patients with cardiovascular diseases.
• Monitoring the operation of the installed pacemaker.
• Evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment and the condition of a patient who has suffered a myocardial infarction.

Stress tests are carried out to assess the progress of recovery as part of the rehabilitation course. Thanks to the built-in thermal printer, ECG data is printed for further study and archiving.
