Why Your Cardiologist May Recommend a Stress Test

NOVA Cardiovascular Care can diagnose and treat multiple common cardiac health issues, focusing heavily on those that threaten people the most. A stress test in Woodbridge & Stafford, VA, provides the best way of diagnosing these common health issues. But when do we consider assigning you one? Here are a few reasons you’ll need one ASAP for your healthcare.

Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease, or CAD, can cause blockages in the arteries that impact heart health and put you at risk for various types of health issues. This test can help spot this problem and determine where it might originate. Symptoms of this condition include shortness of breath and some chest pain. Once we know what’s going on, we’ll figure out where we can help you.

Arrhythmias 

An arrhythmia occurs when the heart beats erratically for no reason, speeding up rapidly or slowing down heavily. It’s typically an episodic problem or occurs between periods of regular heart rate. Getting a test with our team can help diagnose this concern and find a therapy that makes sense for your needs.

Heart Valve Problems 

At NOVA Cardiovascular Care, we can provide a stress test in Woodbridge & Stafford, VA, to help you figure out potential heart valve issues. Damage to heart valves might cause blood flow problems that can significantly impact how well your tissues get oxygenated. With the support of our team, you’ll figure out what’s wrong.

Regular Chest Pain 

If you experience regular chest pain, we might do one of these tests to ensure that you get the support you need. We can help you diagnose the cause of:

  • Sudden tightness in the chest that comes and goes 
  • Sharp pains in the chest around the heart 
  • Stabbing, shooting pains that come when working out/exerting yourself

Family History 

If you have a family history of heart-related problems or cardiac health issues, you might want this test to see if you’re at risk. While having a father or mother who had problems with the heart doesn’t mean you will, it sets you up for that potential. As a result, it’s critical to call us and schedule a regular checkup.
