Overview

Other diagnostic tests include exercise testing, use of the Holter monitor, and the administration of atropine.

Other Diagnostic Studies

Exercise Testing

Exercise stress testing is useful:

Holter Monitoring

Holter monitoring is used to identify atrial arrhythmias in patients who present with nonspecific cardiac symptoms.

Adenosine

Adenosine i.v push followed by i.v bolus can reveal flutter waves on the EKG by transiently blocking the AV node.
