Study Notes
Exercise Tolerance Test (ETT)
- During an ETT, a patient exercises on a treadmill or stationary bike with increasing intensity until they become fatigued.
Multidisciplinary Cardiovascular Imaging Program
- Brigham and Women's Hospital offers a noninvasive cardiovascular imaging program that includes a team of cardiologists, radiologists, and other imaging experts.
- The program provides comprehensive care for cardiovascular diseases.
Exercise and Medication during ETT
- If a patient cannot exercise adequately on a treadmill, medications can be used to simulate exercise.
Monitoring during ETT
- A patient's blood pressure, breathing, and heart rate are monitored during an ETT to assess their cardiovascular health.
BWH Cardiovascular Imaging Program
- The BWH Cardiovascular Imaging Program does not use only echocardiography as the imaging type, implying that other imaging types are also used.
