How to Buy a Cardiac Stress Testing System

May 24, 2010 - PRLog -- While cost is an important factor to consider when purchasing a stress testing system there are several other factors to consider as well. Certain configurations will allow for significantly greater usability, resulting in a far more effective unit overall. Also consider accessories such as printers that can help enhance the features of the unit and allow for easier obtaining and processing of data and user results In order to purchase the unit appropriate for your medical practice, consider the following tips when looking at stress testing systems:

1. A good stress test system should use a microprocessor-controlled, 12-lead electrocardiograph to record and store electrocardiogram signals.This configuration provides maximum results and accuracy.

2. Consider what will be displayed on the monitor. A good stress test system should feature the following data: electrocardiogram, heart rate, patient data, blood pressure, treadmill speed and grade/ergometer load, and the protocol being used. Having these features on the monitor will allow the testing to run more smoothly and make it easier to check on vital data.

3. Also consider what protocols are available on the unit. Protocols should be commonly used exercise protocols, and they should be user programmable for maximum flexibility.

4. A printer should be included with the system. This will allow the user to print out and provide hard copy reports for later analysis and storage purposes.

5. Said reports should be available in both standard and user customizable templates. The reports should also be user selectable in order to maintain efficiency.
