What is ETT?
An exercise tolerance test (ETT) records the electrical activity of your heart whilst you exercise. It is most useful in patients who experience chest pain when they exert themselves. It is also used to detect whether heart rhythm abnormalities can be brought on by exercise.

Why ETT is done?
The ETT can be used to investigate coronary heart disease (sometimes called coronary artery disease). This disease is due to the narrowing of the coronary arteries. It can cause chest pains (angina) and other problems. So, if you develop chest pains you may be advised to have an ETT to help clarify the cause. However, different investigations (eg. coronary angiography or myocardial perfusion scintigraphy) are now preferred to diagnose whether you have coronary heart disease.

Blood Pressure Measure
How the test is done?
Small electrodes are stuck on your chest. Wires from the electrodes are connected to the electrocardiogram (ECG) machine. You will then be asked to exercise on a treadmill or on an exercise bike. The exercise starts at a very easy pace and is gradually made more strenuous by increasing the speed and incline of the treadmill, or by putting some resistance on the bike wheel. Whilst you exercise, ECG tracings are made and you will also have your blood pressure measured from time to time. The test lasts about 15-20 minutes.
