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).
Stress Testing/Stress Echocardiogram A stress echocardiogram is a non-invasive test that combines two tests--a treadmill stress test (TST) and an echocardiogram (ECHO). This test is used to see how the heart muscle contracts during rest and during exercise. A stress echo is made up of three parts: a resting echo study, a stress test, and a repeat echo while the heart is beating fast.
Average cost in Italy would be in the range 70-200 Euro. When covered by national healthcare system, can be free for those with a number of conditions, or a co-pay of about 40 Euro. When I had an echocardiogram done in 2008, it cost roughly $1700 US. A freestanding Radiology center in Fairfax county VA charges around 900$ for a 2D echocardiogram. Some provider in Elmhurst, NY and Astoria, NY charges 250$ for the same test. I have an echocardiogram done twice a year every year.
