The process of bicycle ergometry
Bicycle ergometry is when the patient performs physical exercises on an exercise bike.
To begin with, the patient will be asked to sit on an exercise bike. Electrodes are attached to the chest to record the ECG. The patient then begins to pedal with a gradual increase in load.
An ECG is recorded during exercise, and blood pressure and respiratory rate are measured. The procedure usually takes between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the patient’s physical fitness and the study’s goals.
After the bicycle ergometry procedure, the patient is advised to rest until complete recovery.
Contraindications to the procedure
Absolute contraindications:
- Recent myocardial infarction or acute heart disease
- Severe hypertension or arrhythmia
Relative contraindications:
- Chronic diseases in the exacerbation stage
- Conditions after major surgeries or injuries
Importantly! It is necessary to consult a doctor before the procedure. Additional information will be provided by the EasyMed manager at the time of booking.
Safety of the procedure
Bicycle ergometry is a safe diagnostic procedure that rarely causes serious side effects. It does not include radiation exposure.
The frequency depends on medical indications, such as physical endurance and cardiovascular system assessment. The procedure may be repeated depending on the dynamics of the disease and the need to assess the effectiveness of treatment.
