What is an Exercise Tolerance Test (ETT)?
ETT stands for Exercise Tolerance Test. It is a non-invasive cardiac stress test that measures how well your heart responds while performing some physical activity. Monitoring heart rate, rhythm, blood pressure, and ECG patterns helps detect various heart conditions, such as CAD and arrhythmias, as well as evaluate the effectiveness of ongoing treatment.
Consultant-led, Same-day Private ETT in London
Patients can book a private exercise tolerance test with Dr Lo Monaco, a GMC-registered consultant cardiologist, specialised in cardiac diagnostics. Same-day ETT appointments are available, with expert review and interpretation of results within 24 hours.
What to Expect: Before, During and After Your Exercise Tolerance Test
Preparing for an Exercise Tolerance Test
Wear loose clothing and comfortable shoes. Eat a light meal few hours before the test and avoid caffeine for around 24 hours. Avoid strenuous exercise for about 3 hours before the test. Take your routine medicine unless Dr Lo Monaco advises otherwise. Please inform us beforehand if you are or might be pregnant or feel unwell on the test day.
During an ETT
During an ETT Test, small adhesive electrodes are attached to your chest and connected to an ECG monitor to analyse your heart’s electrical activity, blood pressure, and any signs of discomfort. The test typically lasts for 30 to 45 minutes. You are asked to perform physical activities, such as walking on a treadmill or cycling on a stationary bike. The speed and resistance gradually increase during the test to assess how your heart responds to exertion. Any changes that occur in your blood pressure or heart rhythm during the test are recorded.
Results and Follow-Up Care
Once you stop exercising, your heart rate and blood pressure return to normal. Dr Lo Monaco will review your stress test result based on your vitals, symptoms, and overall response during the procedure. A personalised treatment plan will be designed according to the findings. Further tests or scans may be recommended for more comprehensive insights.
Why you might need a private ETT Test?
You may be referred for an ETT if you have:
- Chest pain, tightness or pressure that appears with physical exertion
- Breathlessness on walking, stairs or exercise
- Palpitations or a racing heartbeat during exercise
- Dizziness, light-headedness or fainting with exertion
- Reduced stamina for exercise
- Known heart disease and you want to check how well treatment is working
What Can an Exercise Tolerance Test Detect?
A private Exercise Stress ECG Test provides vital assessments for diagnosing, monitoring, and managing various heart conditions, such as:
Types Of Cardiac Stress Tests
Your heart doctor will recommend the most suitable stress test based on your symptoms and any suspected heart condition.
Exercise Stress ECG
It is the most common and fundamental heart assessment involving physical exertion, while your heart’s electrical activity, BP, and symptoms are monitored through an ECG.
Stress Echocardiogram
Stress Echo combines a standard stress test with comprehensive ultrasound imaging to assess the heart’s structure, pumping efficiency, and blood flow during peak physical activity.
Nuclear Stress Test
The Nuclear Stress Test uses a safe radioactive substance and cardiac imaging to evaluate your heart muscles for identifying the areas with poor blood circulation and arterial blockage.
Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test
The CPET measures how your heart, lungs, and muscles respond to physical exertion to diagnose unexplained breathlessness and assess cardiac fitness.
How Much Does a Private Exercise Tolerance Test Cost in London?
A private ETT with Dr Lo Monaco costs £490, which includes the test, the cardiologist’s reviewed report and an explanation of your result.
