Overview
Stress testing is used for risk stratification and diagnosis of coronary artery disease.
Electrocardiogram
Exercise EKG is preferred initial test unless the patients have uninterpretable EKG not in a condition to exercise. Few uninterpretable EKG conditions are
- WPW syndrome
- > 1 mm of ST depression at rest
- Left bundle branch block
- Ventricular pacing
- Resting abnormalities of ST segment and T waves
Prognostic Markers: Exercise EKG
- In ECG recording
- Maximum ST elevation
- Number of leads showing changes
- Duration for onset of ST changes
- Duration for ST change recovery
- ST/HR indices
- Occurrence exercise induced ventricular arrhythmia
