title: [Role of the exercise test in the assessment of left ventricular performance in ischemic heart disease].
abstract: The exercise testing is indicated at patients with ischemic heart disease for multiple purposes: it reveals ischemic changes during the exercise and the severity of them; the ekg alterations correlate with the location and the extension of coronary stenoses. The exercise capacity is a strong predictor of survival. Exercise testing is indicated in the evaluation of patients with angina pectoris, after myocardial infarction and after revascularisation procedures and the results are useful in the risk stratification of the patients.
