Abstract:
Chronic coronary syndromes represent one of the principle causes of death and disability all over the world. ESC guidelines suggest the use of clinical risk scores such as the Risk Factor-Weighted Clinical Likelihood to estimate the probability of obstructive coronary artery disease, and underline the role of functional imaging tests, such as stress echocardiography. This article offers a comprehensive overview of the main applications of stress test, including indications, stress protocols, differences between stressors, and comparison with exercise stress test. This article also highlights emerging applications of traditional stress tests.

Exercise Stress Test
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
