Average total cost, sometimes referred to as the per unit total cost, is the per unit cost. This includes fixed costs, those costs that are required for production but do not change based on output, and variable costs, those costs that increase (or decrease) as output increases (or decreases).
The basic stress test involves walking on a treadmill while your electrocardiogram (EKG) is continuously monitored for changes that may indicate a blocked artery to the heart. However, there are options if you are unable to walk on a treadmill or if your EKG is already abnormal at rest. The existing options include: imaging stress tests -- echocardiographic or nuclear -- and pharmacologic stress tests -- adenosine and dobutamine.
The average cost of a routine ECG is between $150 and $200. An exercise stress test is more expensive, and averages between $250 and $300.An echocardiogram costs on average about $1400.All these costs should include the test itself and the cost of the technician's reading and interpretation of the results.n exercise stress test is more expensive, and averages between $250 and $300.
