Is it Necessary to make the heart beat faster through walking on Tradmill for stress echocardiogram?? The problem is that when the patient is lie down on table for test then already the heart rate is fast- 130/140 due to anxiety n other factors So the doctor said that in this case we cannot make you walk on treadmill n ur stress echo is done.. I enquired again he said it does not matter if the heart beating faster due to stress or exertion... we just need to look at the images I paid 3.5 k for it but in end just have echo report which costs 1.5k.. I have typical chest pain Plz tell me what to do?? In echo report they wrote sinus tachycardia notes during study
