See how your lungs and heart respond to exertion.
See how your lungs and heart respond to exertion, with a doctor reviewing results in real time.
An exercise breathing stress test measures your breathing, oxygen use and heart response while you pedal a stationary bike at increasing effort, with a physician watching the results in real time. It can explain breathlessness or low stamina that resting tests miss.
When it helps
When shortness of breath or poor stamina only shows up during activity, resting tests can look normal. Testing under exertion shows whether the limit is coming from the lungs, the heart, or conditioning.
Six-minute walk testing
Medimprove also performs six-minute walk testing, a simpler measure of how far you can walk in six minutes and how your oxygen level responds along the way.
