English translation:bicycle ergometer exercise test

Explanation:
bicycle ergometer exercise test
- an exercise test in which the patient pedals a stationary bicycle ergometer; the test is usually graded, with incremental or continuous increases in power produced by increases in pedal resistance at a given pedal speed.
Cf. treadmill exercise test
Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary

Gan šāds, gan varianti "bicycle ergometer stress test", "bicycle ergometer test" ir atrodami arī tīmeklī.

Domāju, ka labāk izskatīsies īsināts formulējums - bez "cardiac" un bez "stationary", jo tas tomēr kontekstā ir pašsaprotami.

cardiac stress test on a stationary bicycle

Explanation:
Latviski - veloergometrija.
Varētu jau teikt ari tikai "stress test", bet tad informacija butu nepilniga, jo Latvija sirds slodzes testu veic praktiski tikai ar stacionarajiem divriteniem, bet Amerika, cik es zinu, parsvara ar "treadmil" un amerikani ar "stress test" saprot so izmeklejumu.

7 hrs confidence:

veloergometry/veloergometer test

Explanation:
Veloergometry test is a very videly used term for this purpose, that's why it's abbreviated as VEM (veloergometry, or test on a veloergometer).
Bicycle ergometry would mean the same but the abbreviated term wouldn't be clear.
