Exercise Tolerance Test
An Exercise Tolerance Test (ETT) is a non-invasive testing method of detecting heart disease which may otherwise not be evident without exercise. A 12-lead ECG forms part of the test.
CardioScan Aotearoa’s exercise tolerance test reports are signed off by a New Zealand clinical specialist.
Service and Device Features
All exercise tolerance test reports are QA checked and signed off by a New Zealand clinical specialist
The exercise tolerance test provided at CardioScan Aotearoa is a non-invasive method of monitoring an ECG, heart rate and blood pressure during exercise. It is a great way to assess exercise capacity and is low-cost and technically simple. However, it has lower sensitivity (68%) and specificity (70 - 77%) and can be less accurate in women or patients with baseline ECG abnormalities.
All Exercise Tolerance Test studies are reviewed by a Cardiac Physiologist and signed-off by a New Zealand based Cardiologist.
