The incidence of "silent" coronary heart disease.

In a group of clinically normal male executives subjected to maximal treadmill stress testing, the occurrence of ischemic st segment responses was in all cases unaccompanied by pain, while in a clinically suspect group a large proportion of those having ischemic st segment responses did not have chest pain. While a significant number of persons have no subjective sensation of pain while having ischemic st segment changes on the electrocardiograph during or after maximal treadmill exercise, occasionally atypical pain may occur during or following exercise. Maximal treadmill stress testing is useful in discovering "silent" coronary artery disease.

The current application of maximal treadmill stress testing.

Treadmill stress testing has many applications in the overall evaluation of ischemic heart disease, both as a diagnostic aid and as an aid in serially following patients under study. Its use in the evaluation of procedures designed to improve myocardial function and coronary perfusion is of great value, for it can supply objective evidence without recourse to more difficult procedures such as determination of blood lactate levels. Ancillary procedures which may complement treadmill stress testing may prove to be valuable additions to the study of ischemic heart disease. The reported high rate of false-positive Master two-step tests would tend to make the treadmill exercise test more attractive.
