Exercise stress testing is a well-established procedure used for over 30 years to diagnose coronary artery disease, guide anti-ischemic therapy, and assess prognosis.
Exercise stress testing aids CAD prognosis; leaves open incremental value versus contemporary risk tools in screening.
Exercise stress testing is a well-established procedure that has been in widespread clinical use for more than 30 years.1 The great majority of exercise stress tests are performed in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease. Exercise stress testing is also commonly performed for screening in apparently healthy persons before the initiation of an exercise program. The results can be used to establish a diagnosis of coronary artery disease, to guide anti-ischemic therapy, and also to assess prognosis. An ischemic response to stress testing is a potent predictor of future coronary events, including death, in apparently healthy persons.2, . . .
