Overview
Based on the ACC/AHA guidelines [1], the pretest probability of underlying coronary artery disease (CAD) can be classified into low (less than 10%-20%) , intermediate (between 20%-80%) and high probability (more than 80%-90%). All patients with intermediate to high probability of CAD need to undergo exercise stress testing [2] [3] to stratify the risk of subsequent coronary events and hence determine the appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. Bruce protocol and DUKE score are widely adopted methods for exercise stress testing. The exercise capacity, clinical, hemodynamic and electrocardiographic responses must be considered while interpreting the results of exercise treadmill test.
Exercise Treadmill Test Interpretation
- Angina: if occurred during or after exercise, particularly if it forces to stop the test.
- ST segment changes if occurred during or after exercise. Factors that indicate high probability of underlying CAD include:
- positive J point,
- Horizontal ST segment depression of less than or equal to 2mm,
- Downsloping of ST segment depression,
- Early positive response within 6-minutes,
- Persistence of ST segment depression for more than 6-minutes into recovery,
- ST segment depression in five or more leads,
- Exertional hypotension.
- Hemodynamic responses like changes in heart rate or blood pressure with exercise,
- Workload in metabolic equivalents (METs).
- In a 40-year old man weighing 70kg, 1 MET refers to the resting volume oxygen consumption per minute (VO2).
- 1 MET = 3.5 mL/min/kg of body weight.
Methods to assess Exercise Treadmill Test
- Bruce protocol:
- Bruce protocol is most widely used and has seven stages, with a complete 21-minute exercise and each stage lasting for 2-minutes.
- The result is satisfactory when a patient completes of 9-12minutes of exercise or 85% of the maximum predicted changes in heart rate
| Stage 1 | 0-3 min | 1.7 mph | 10% grade | 5.0 METS |
| Stage 2 | 3-6 min | 2.5 mph | 12% grade | 6.8 METS |
| Stage 3 | 6-9 min | 3.4 mph | 14% grade | 9.4 METS |
| Stage 4 | 9-12 min | 4.2 mph | 16% grade | 13.3 METS |
| Stage 5 | 12-15 min | 5.0 mph | 18% grade | 16.6 METS |
| Stage 6 | 15-18 min | 5.5 mph | 20% grade | 19.5 METS |
| Stage 7 | 18-21 min | 6.0 mph | 22% grade | 22.7 METS |
- DUKE treadmill score = [(exercise duration in minutes) - (5 x ST segment deviation, during or after exercise, in millimeters) - (4 if angina occurs or 8 if angina is the reason to stop the test)] [4]
| CAD risk probability (DTS) | 4-year survival | Annual mortality |
| Low probability (more than 5 DTS) | 99% | 0.25% |
| Moderate probability (-10 to 4 DTS) | 95% | 1.25% |
| High probability (less than -10 DTS) | 79% | 5% |
