Exercise Testing

  • Chapter
Clinical Pharmacology of Antianginal Drugs

Part of the book series: Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology ((HEP,volume 76))

Abstract

The observations of Bousfield (1918) and of Pardee (1920) at the beginning of the century laid the groundwork upon which exercise testing has been based. These workers observed that acute, reversible changes in the ECG occurred during spontaneous attacks of angina pectoris. In 1928, Feil and Siegel showed that similar changes in the ECG occurred when angina pectoris was precipitated by exercise. Goldhammer and Scherf (1932) later demonstrated the same exerciseinduced abnormalities in over 50% of patients with angina pectoris and concluded that exercise would be of value in the diagnosis of patients presenting with chest pain.
