Could you tell me what happens if you can't finish stress test?

Stress test: If you cannot finish a stress test, it may be because those running the test are seeing ekg changes and asking you to stop. Or, you may be deconditioned, or develop chest pain or breathlessness while on the treadmill. Your cardiologist reviews the findings with you, and make recommendations for treatment. Sometimes further testing is needed; sometimes medication; sometimes other procedures.

Incomplete stress...: Usually if a patient can walk, an exercise treadmill stress test is performed. If the patient is unable to meet the target heart rate, the test is often converted to a pharmacologic stress test.
