Conducting Maximal and Submaximal Endurance Exercise Testing to Measure Physiological and Biological Responses to Acute Exercise in Humans
Published on: October 17, 2018
Abstract:
Exercise test diagnostic and prognostic value depends on the purpose for which is performed and on the population studied. In typical angina patients the test is usefull for choosing between medical and surgical therapy and for evaluating treatment efficacy. In patients with atypical chest pain a diagnostic value is recognized. In asymptomatic subjects results of a number of epidemiological studies suggest that this test is recommended only in selected groups or for research purpose. In the appendix definitions of epidemiological measures used in screening tests evaluation are given with examples.

Initial Enquiry
Ask the patient about their primary concern and thoroughly explore all reported symptoms.
Medical History
Investigate past illnesses affecting the cardiovascular system, such as angina, anemia, rheumatic fever, congenital heart disease, stroke, thrombophlebitis, dysrhythmias, varicosities

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.
