A stress test monitors a patient's symptoms, blood pressure, and EKG as the treadmill workload increases to diagnose coronary artery disease. Measurements include exercise duration, time to ischemia, and EKG changes. Cardiac enzymes like CPK, LDH, and GOT measured via blood samples indicate heart damage and assess heart attacks, surgery outcomes, and injuries. Doppler ultrasound uses sound waves to non-invasively image blood flow and diagnose clots, commonly scanning the carotid artery due to its link to stroke risk.
