Market Overview

A stress test is a type of electrophysiology study to evaluates blood flow to the heart and measure cardiac function during exertion. It provides information on the working of the heart during physical stress necessary for early detection, assessment, and management. Stress test systems measure the working condition of the heart during physical stress (exercise). It detects blood vessel blockage to the heart (coronary artery), the strength of heart muscle, heart rate, blood pressure, and heart rhythm during exercise, comparative diagnosis of cardiac fitness level. A basic stress test consists of cardio equipment such as an exercise bike or a treadmill and wires that are hooked up to an EKG or ECG machine that analyzes the blood circulation in the heart muscle and reveals heart parts that are not contracting strongly. They can also show parts of the heart that do not get enough blood, as well as dead tissue in the heart, where there is no flowing blood to prevent cardiac death which is responsible for heart attack. The rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases among the younger population has increased the use of cardio exercises, which is expected to drive demand for treadmill ergometers for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) in the near future. Staircase treadmills and treadmill ergometers are becoming more popular due to their cardiovascular benefits in physiotherapy training. In the majority of patients with an inability to exercise, pharmacologic stress testing is an essential diagnostic modality and is widely used for the evaluation of ischemia and coronary artery disease (CAD). The rise in awareness about the use of body monitoring techniques and cardiovascular disease assessment is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for market expansion.
