Synopsis

Exercise stress testing is a valuable diagnostic tool in the detection of cardiac disease and related problems. This pocket guide provides an overview of exercise stress testing, indications for testing, and patient preparation, and then discusses each possible finding and what to do to complete/terminate a test or handle complications, etc. While there are enormously large volumes on the subject, it is not easy to find a small but thorough guide such as this.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Exercise (stress) testing is one of the most popular and essential diagnostic tools in the field of cardiovascular medicine. Pocket Guide to Stress Testing uses a practical approach in describing the clinically pertinent aspects of this subject, incorporating tables and ECG tracings whenever applicable. The authors address the most important uses of exercise ECG testing, including chest pain evaluation, determining functional capacity of cardiac patients as well as seemingly healthy people, and low-level postmyocardial infarction testing. This pocket guide simply and concisely covers the standard treadmill test and various pharmacologic stress tests for those patients unable to perform the treadmill test.
