Abstract

This article focuses on recent advances on exercise electrocardiography (ECG) for the diagnostic and prognostic assessment of coronary artery disease. In particular, the pathophysiological background of comparative heart rate-adjusted ST-segment analysis during exercise and recovery phase is discussed. In addition, the results of recent studies dealing with the application of this ECG analysis modality to different clinical settings are presented.
