Exercise stress testing is useful:
* To reproduce exercise induced [[atrial flutter]]/[[atrial fibrillation|fibrillation]]
* To identify underlying [[ischemic heart disease]] ([[IHD]])


===Holter Monitoring===
*[[Exercise testing]] , which demonstrates:
[[Holter monitoring]] is used to identify atrial arrhythmias in patients who present with nonspecific cardiac symptoms.
**To reproduce exercise induced [[atrial flutter]]/[[atrial fibrillation|fibrillation]]
**To identify underlying [[ischemic heart disease]] ([[IHD]]).  Every patient with atrial flutter should be evaluated for underlying [[coronary heart disease]] as the prescription of Ic antiarrhythmics ([[flecainide]], [[propafenone]]), which also act as proarrhythmics, for flutter can cause increased [[mortality]] in such patients.
 
*[[Holter monitoring]], which demonstrates:
**Atrial arrhythmias in patients who present with nonspecific cardiac [[symptoms]].
 
*[[Adenosine]] testing, which demonstrates:
**Reveal [[flutter]] waves on the [[EKG]] by transiently blocking the [[AV node]].
