Why the study?
Updated guidance on exercise testing in children is needed to address laboratory requirements, indications, contraindications, and current practices in pediatric cardiology.
This updated AHA statement provides comprehensive guidelines on the requirements, indications, and protocols for clinical stress testing in children.
Guides current pediatric stress testing practices; extends prior AHA guidance with updated indications, contraindications, and protocols.
This statement is an updated report of the American Heart Association's previous publications on exercise in children. In this statement, exercise laboratory requirements for environment, equipment, staffing, and procedures are presented. Indications and contraindications to stress testing are discussed, as are types of testing protocols and the use of pharmacological stress protocols. Current stress laboratory practices are reviewed on the basis of a survey of pediatric cardiology training programs.
