Key result
A survey of 20 Swedish Clinical Physiological Departments found that criteria for exclusion, interruption, and ECG interpretation during exercise testing vary widely despite high safety standards.

Varied Swedish exercise test criteria may affect result consistency across sites; leaves open whether national standardization improves safety or yield.
Cross-Sectional (n=20)
Yes
What are the procedures and criteria used for exercise testing in Clinical Physiological Departments in Sweden?
There is a lack of standardization in exercise testing criteria across Swedish hospitals, highlighting a need for further evaluation to optimize safety and use.
Atterhög et al. (1979) reported a cross-sectional. Exercise testing procedures was evaluated on Techniques and standards of exercise testing. A survey of 20 Swedish Clinical Physiological Departments found that criteria for exclusion, interruption, and ECG interpretation during exercise testing vary widely despite high safety standards.
