    Rowing exercise offers a viable alternative for electrocardiographic stress testing when standard leg-based tests are not feasible. This method effectively diagnoses coronary heart disease in patients with limited mobility.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Exercise Physiology

    Background:

    • Standard exercise electrocardiogram (ECG) tests, like bicycle or treadmill ergometry, are challenging for patients unable to perform heavy leg exercises.
    • Peripheral vascular disease can necessitate above-knee amputations, further limiting exercise options.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of a rowing ergometer for electrocardiographic stress testing in patients with coronary insufficiency.
    • To determine if rowing exercise can provide adequate cardiac loads for diagnosing coronary artery disease in specific patient populations.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a rowing ergometer for electrocardiographic stress testing.
    • Graded exercise testing using the rowing ergometer in 16 ambulatory patients with documented coronary insufficiency.
    • Inclusion of 11 patients with above-knee amputations due to peripheral vascular disease who could only perform rowing exercise.

    Main Results:

    • Rowing exercise enabled diagnostic cardiac loads in patients unable to use standard ergometers.
    • No significant differences were found in key comparison areas between rowing and standard tests where applicable.
    • Patients with above-knee amputations successfully utilized the rowing ergometer for stress testing.

    Conclusions:

    • Rowing exercise is a suitable and well-tolerated alternative for exercise ECG testing in patients with coronary artery disease.
    • This method is particularly beneficial for individuals with limitations in performing leg-intensive exercises, such as those with amputations.
