Cardiac Stress (Treadmill) Test in the Prediction and Diagnosis of Heart Disease in Hypertensive Persons

Abstract

Heart disease is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in hypertensive persons. The medical data leads used in cardiac stress test is useful in detection of cardiovascular dysfunction. This test is used for evaluation of heart disease and risk grading with inadequate blood supply by exercise or stress and increased cardiac demands in hypertensive patients. This research was conducted to evaluate cardiac stress test in hypertensive patients with chest pain, diabetes, smoking and pre-family records of heart disease. The result showed that inheritance of hypertension is general and use of tobacco increases risk, and there is need of precaution for persons with hypertensive family records. The observation indicated TMT as predicting factor for heart problems with less expensive diagnostic feature.
