Covering all clinical aspects of exercise testing and training/research, and including new material on exercise therapy and the effect of chronic exercise on the heart, this text provides a clinical aide to the cardiologist and internist.

The new edition of the Manual of Exercise Testing is the perfect companion for the exercise testing laboratory. Filled with practical examples and diagnostic clues, this handy manual covers exercise testing for the main cardiovascular problems faced today. Testing and interpretation are extensively covered in this manual. There is a new section on exercise physiology to provide essential science background. New chapter on exercise physiologyNew chapter on estimating disease severity and prognosisNew information on diagnosis of coronary artery disease and early testing after acute myocardial infarctionNew material on post-procedure exercise testingNew information on congestive heart failure, transplantation and valvular heart disease

Divided into four major parts, the Handbook leads you through the basics: reviewing exercise physiology, the stress test, and patient response to dynamic exercise; performing the test from start to finish: patient selection and preparation, starting and terminating the test, and the postexercise period; evaluating patient response: symptoms and signs, hemodynamic and ECG responses; and applying test results to complete the diagnostic and prognostic picture.
