    A cardiovascular evaluation and exercise testing program proved feasible, accurate, and cost-effective. This accessible service identified cardiac abnormalities efficiently in over 1,800 individuals.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Preventive Medicine
    • Health Services Research

    Background:

    • Cardiovascular diseases necessitate accessible and accurate screening methods.
    • Exercise testing is a key component of cardiovascular evaluation.
    • Assessing the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of such programs is crucial for public health.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the feasibility, cost, and accuracy of a demonstration cardiovascular evaluation and exercise testing program.
    • To determine the program's success in providing convenient and affordable cardiac assessments.

    Main Methods:

    • A prospective assessment of a cardiovascular evaluation and exercise testing program.
    • Examination of over 1,800 individuals over a three-year period.
    • Analysis of program costs, patient throughput, and detected abnormalities.

    Main Results:

    • The program examined up to 55 individuals per day.
    • Costs ranged from $60 to $70 per examination.
    • The types of abnormalities detected were consistent with findings from other studies.

    Conclusions:

    • The demonstration program was feasible, accurate, and cost-effective.
    • The program successfully provided convenient and low-cost cardiovascular services.
    • The findings support the implementation of similar accessible cardiac screening initiatives.
