Update on exercise cardiology.
This review focuses on innovative directions and recent studies in cardiovascular exercise science. Studies that address the enhancement of the diagnostic and prognostic value of exercise testing, by virtue of electrocardiographic analysis and the integration of exercise tolerance and clinical findings, are reviewed. The roles of exercise electrocardiographic testing in chest pain centers and the epidemiologic and physiologic effects of exercise training are discussed. The impact of exercise training on the angiographic and clinical regression of coronary artery disease and gender differences in exercise testing and training are among the concluding topics.
