About
Anthony C. Caruso, MD, FACC
-
Dr. Caruso grew up in the Bensonhurst neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. When he is not at work, Dr. Caruso catches up on classic literature and architecture. His favorite local spot is the Austin City Limits Moody Theater.
During my medical residency, I was fascinated by the then new field of electrophysiology and saw it as a frontier worth exploring. I was fortunate enough to get in on the ground floor and work with some future giants in the field. Although somewhat of an academic at heart, in my private practice I always ask myself what would I do if this were my brother or sister, and treat my patients the same way.

- Treadmill Stress Testing

Treadmill Stress Testing
A treadmill test helps a doctor determine how well your heart handles work. As your body works harder during the test, it requires more oxygen, so the heart must 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.
