"Early heart attack signs were missed in 78 per cent of women in the study group, even though these signs occurred repeatedly over a period of weeks or months.

Exercise [...] helps to prevent heart attacks and helps to reduce the extent of blockages. It also helps a person realize something isnt quite right. A person may walk one kilometre everyday and one day wake up not being able to do it so they know something is wrong. - Dr. Tarhuni via the Windsor Star

A stress echocardiogram (also called a stress echo) is an exercise test that evaluates your heart using both ECG (electrical activity of your heart) and ultrasound (photos of your heart) technology.
A stress test determines the amount of stress that your heart can handle before developing either an abnormal rhythm or evidence of ischemia (not enough blood flow to the heart muscle). Watch our video to learn more >>
