I read somewhere that you can't do a treatmill test with a pacemaker, is it ok to have a tilt table test with a pacemaker?

My simple understanding (not a medical professional) is that a treadmill (stress) test has negligible value as the pacemaker controls the heart rate.
The tilt test is different and I believe can provide valuable information on your condition. When the appointment arrives ring the department up to discuss your concerns. Your cardiologist would not request any test they felt put you at risk. For instance prior to my bypass mine told me that a stress test would provide no useful information and be high risk.
I’ve done a treadmill test with a pacemaker and no issues.
Not what you're looking for?
