Summary
An exercise stress test (EST) is commonly used for the diagnosis and evaluation of cardiac disease. This review provides an overview of the most recent standards, and guidelines of EST, which include the acute physiological response of the cardiovascular system to aerobic exercise, the use of EST in evaluation of CAD, updated diagnostic and prognostic variables of EST, and modern reporting of EST. These guidelines are intended for healthcare professionals who currently use or are considering incorporating EST as part of health care evaluation, and rehabilitative delivery to their patients
