Ever wonder what’s involved in getting a HEART STRESS TEST? Corny Rempel, Morning Show Host on MIX 96.7fm, decided to get one and let you see what it’s like.
So that your exfoliating so you send it and and that just makes the contact better or what yeah the reason we usually do any of these stress tests are basically three reasons one if there’s chest pain you know symptoms secondly would be if you had a bad family history abnormal rhythms or sometimes just to check out your fitness level you don’t have a lot of risk
Factors if the family history is a fairly big one we don’t know what your what your cholesterol is but you don’t have a lot of the others like smoking diabetes and high blood pressure eat up and i’ll give you a warning what not okay are you ever doing these stress tests and at this point you already go oh here we go to stuff yeah and what what are you seeing that
When when look what warning says you well more you go we gotta stop this right now okay most of the time it’s because the patient simply can’t handle it that’s what is this telling you right now well at this point is perfectly normal okay we’re at eighty eight percent we can probably tell immediately that you’re not in terrible shape but it’s not super great
Either telling you that i should be exercising more yeah this little blip is when your your internal pacemaker fires and this is the actual contraction and this is sort of our recovery period and that should go up nicely like that okay yeah yours are looking fine this is the lower part of the heart and this is the front of the heart the main pumping chamber
So you can look at individual chambers and just indole where the problem lies yeah it’s a it’s not precise but yes that’s the idea because you want to see like a good difference between resting blood pressure and exercise okay we’re done okay now we’ll just monitor for a couple of minutes after the exercise because actually happens quite frequently that you
Don’t see any change in that curvature of the of the heart tracing you don’t see any change until after the exercise welcome guy i don’t want to hear flatlines oh no i don’t like to hear that ii know this should be part of the stress test you should check what the heart does no they do that okay well first of all your heart rhythm is normal there was no sign of
Abnormalities like atrial fibrillation or anything like that there’s there’s no sign of heart disease okay like even early signs of blockage and the level you reached it’s actually pretty decent it’s not super athletic but at all but it’s not bad
