Treadmill exercise test in short children.

Maximum treadmill exercise test in patients with abnormal control electrocardiograms.

The "false negative" treadmill exercise test and left ventricular dysfunction.

One hundred and fifteen consecutive symptomatic patients undergoing graded exercise testing, selective coronary angiography and left ventriculography were retrospectively evaluated. The sensitivity, specificity, and false negative response rates of the exercise tests were 79%, 81%, and 21%, respectively. Although the magnitude of a positive ST-segment response was related to more extensive vasc...

Test-retest reproducibility of heart rate recovery after treadmill exercise.

BACKGROUND Slowed heart rate recovery (HRR) of less than 12 beats per minute in the first minute after an exercise stress test has been suggested as a useful addition to the criteria currently used to assess exercise stress test results. Although HRR has been tested in large populations, the short-term test-retest stability (reproducibility) of abnormal HRR for an individual has not been assess...

Heritability, linkage, and genetic associations of exercise treadmill test responses.

BACKGROUND The blood pressure (BP) and heart rate responses to exercise treadmill testing predict incidence of cardiovascular disease, but the genetic determinants of hemodynamic and chronotropic responses to exercise are largely unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS We assessed systolic BP, diastolic BP, and heart rate during the second stage of the Bruce protocol and at the third minute of recovery ...
