Evaluation of the Benefit of Exercise Testing for the Diagnosis of Obstruction in the Coronary Arteries of the Heart
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether exercise testing can detect an obstruction in a coronary artery, and, thereby, can avoid performing a coronary imaging in some cases. Patients with a suspicion of coronary artery disease perform an exercise test on an exercise bike with increasing load. EKG, blood pressure, and other parameters are monitored. Patients benefit also of either a cardiac CT scan or a coronary angiography to establish whether they really have coronary obstruction.
