Exercise and coronary artery disease prevention
1Division of Cardiovascular Diseases, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA.
Abstract:
Physical exercise has become universally accepted as an important component in the primary prevention of coronary disease and in the management of subjects with established coronary artery disease. Exercise should be utilized appropriately for each individual's needs and done in concert with aggressive modification of other risk factors such as abnormal blood lipids, high blood pressure, obesity and cigarette smoking. Such as approach in the preventive management of coronary artery disease is rewarded by beneficial clinical outcomes and savings in health dollars.

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
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.
