Aimed at all physicians who use exercise testing as a diagnostic or rehabilitation procedure, this text describes the principles and practice of stress testing. The book covers research, pathophysiology, and clinical applications, stating absolute, relative and contraindications to stress testing. Although the general format of Stress Testing has not been changed in the Fifth Edition, the chapters have been thoroughly revised and updated. 'Take Home' messages are sprinkled throughout the book to emphasize major concepts. The chapter on electrocardiographic changes has been completely reorganized to highlight the importance of unconventional markers of ischemia. Two new chapters cover the role of exercise echocardiography and exercise testing in congestive heart failure.
