A fatal outcome occurred during diagnostic exercise testing for stable angina. This highlights the critical need for advanced cardiac care facilities during stress tests for coronary artery disease evaluation.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Diagnostic Exercise Testing
  • Coronary Artery Disease

Background:

  • Stable exercise-induced angina diagnosed in a 40-year-old male.
  • Normal electrocardiogram (ECG) and no signs of unstable angina prior to testing.

Observation:

  • Exercise test stopped at 120 Watts due to angina without significant ECG changes.
  • Patient developed shock with QRS complex widening post-discontinuation.

Findings:

  • Coronary angiography revealed an occluded left main coronary artery stem.
  • Recanalisation attempted but unsuccessful in preventing patient mortality.

Implications:

  • Exercise stress testing carries inherent risks, necessitating stringent precautions.
