Get Your Heart Screening before Starting Exercise to Reduce the Risk of Sudden Death
Over 50% of the runners or athletes who have experienced a heart attack or whose heart has suddenly skipped a beat did not know that they have hidden heart disease. Therefore, undergoing a regular heart checkup to check the narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries is a must because coronary artery disease is one of the common causes of sudden death, especially in people who are fond of high-intensity exercise.
The following are the options for Heart Screening:
Stress Test (EST):
It is a treadmill test that is used to measure the
heart’s ability to respond to external stress. However, if there is just a little bit of narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries and the blood flow
is still good, the test cannot detect the abnormality.
Echocardiogram:
A graphic outline of the heart's movement. During an echo test, ultrasound (high-frequency sound waves) from a hand-held wand placed on your chest provides pictures of the heart's valves and chambers and helps the sonographer evaluate the pumping action of the heart.
