Popis:	Exercise testing of patients suspected of coronary artery disease (CAD) is bared on the observation that patients with documented CAD often develop ECG abnormalities during exercise; namely, a depression and/or an elevation of the ST segment. These ECG changes during exercise reflect the presence of myocardial ischemia and are now routinely used as an indirect indication of the presence of significant coronary lesions. Since patients with multivessel CAD and critical coronary lesions often exhibit the most abnormal responses to exercise, it is logical to try to predict the severity of CAD from the data collected during exercise.
