    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Diagnostic Medicine
    • Exercise Physiology

    Background:

    • Coronary artery disease (CAD) evaluation requires accurate diagnostic tools.
    • Exercise testing offers a practical approach to assessing cardiac function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the utility of exercise testing in diagnosing and managing coronary artery disease.
    • To underscore its role as a screening tool and in patient management.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing exercise stress tests to evaluate patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease.
    • Analyzing parameters such as ST depression, ischemia duration, arrhythmias, and hypotension during exercise.

    Main Results:

    • Exercise testing is a valuable adjunct, offering simplicity, affordability, and safety.

  • It aids in screening asymptomatic individuals, diagnosing chest pain, assessing ischemia severity, and monitoring patients post-myocardial infarction or bypass surgery.
  • Specific findings like deep ST depression or exercise-induced arrhythmias may indicate extensive CAD requiring angiography.

    • Conclusions:

    • Exercise testing is a superior, safer, and more functional screening procedure than coronary angiography in many cases.
    • It plays a crucial role in identifying patients with potentially malignant coronary lesions and guiding treatment decisions.
