Abstract
Since the early 1930’s, clinicians have used exercise to aid in the diagnosis and evaluation of patients with ischemic heart disease [1]. By increasing myocardial oxygen demand, exercise can induce myocardial ischemia when myocardial oxygen delivery is impaired by significant, flow-limiting coronary atherosclerosis [2]. Methods available for noninvasive evaluation of exercise-induced myocardial ischemia include: electrocardiography, radionuclide techniques, two-dimensional echocardiography, and Doppler echocardiography.
