Medical
Spanish term or phrase: p. esfuerzo
Cancer patient record.

Section detailing FOUR LISTS of TESTS carried out:
1.endoscopies of various kinds,
2.biopsies of various kinds,
3.FNAs (fine needle aspirations) of various kinds and
4. Special tests of various kinds

Returning to SPECIAL TESTS, in a list that includes ECG, EEG, EMG and RFT (respiratory function tests), I have "P. Esfuerzo". Would this be PRUEBA ESFUERZO, i.e. EFFORT TEST? Or what is the right term?

Any light thrown on this will be very much appreciated.

Explanation:
It looks like it can also be called exercise stress test. This is from the American Heart Association's website. Hope it helps!


EXERCISE STRESS TEST
--------------------------------------------------

A stress test, sometimes called a treadmill test or exercise test, helps physicians find out how well the heart handles work. As the body works harder during the test, it requires more oxygen and the heart has to pump more blood. The test can show if the blood supply is reduced in the arteries that supply the heart. It also helps doctors know the kind and level of exercise appropriate for a patient.

A person taking the test

* is hooked up to equipment to monitor the heart.
* walks slowly in place on a treadmill, on which the speed is increased for a faster pace and which is tilted to produce the effect of going up a small hill.
* may be asked to breathe into a tube for a couple of minutes.
* can stop the test at any time if necessary.
* afterwards will sit or lie down to have the heart and blood pressure checked.


Heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, electrocardiogram (E.C.G. or E.K.G.), and how tired one feels are monitored during the test.

There's very little risk in taking the test in healthy persons - no more than if a person walks fast or jogs up a big hill. Medical professionals should be present in case something unusual happens during the test.

exercise test


Explanation:
Exercise tests are carried out to check out if the patient develops cardiac ischemia during exercise, that is, angina (chest pain) and / or ECG signals of reduced cardiac perfusion.
They can be done either on a treadmill or on a sort of bike.
Hope this helps.
