What it is
A stress echocardiogram takes ultrasound pictures of the heart at rest and again right after exercise on a treadmill or bike, or after a medicine that makes the heart work harder. It shows whether parts of the heart muscle get too little blood under stress. It is often ordered for chest pain or shortness of breath.
What the price covers
