Three reasons

The sanatorium names them directly:

  • To assess the heart — especially in people with chronic cardiovascular disease, older patients and anyone reporting chest pain or palpitations
  • To detect contraindications: some procedures are unsuitable in arrhythmia, ischaemic heart disease, hypertension and other cardiovascular conditions
  • To reduce the risk of complications during physiotherapy
