What are the main forms of stress tests?

Several: First there is either exercise or injection of certain medications into your vein. Second, the doctor examines your ekg for changes. In addition, the heart is sometimes visualized either by echocardiogram or by looking at pictures of the heart related to the injection of slightly radioactive substances into your vein.
