I believe the answer is:

stress test

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for cardiological examination' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'emphasises time to take temperature' is the wordplay.
'emphasises' becomes 'stresses' ('stress' can be a synonym of 'emphasize').
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'to take' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters are taken in).
'temperature' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'stresses'+'t'='stressest'
'stressest' placed around 't' is 'STRESS TEST'.
