Stress Testing: Principles and Practice

This updated text includes new recommendations based on recent clinical research, which has yielded new information on many indicators of ischemia that are often overlooked. Rewritten chapters on radionuclides and computers in stress testing should provide the information needed on these subjects. The author also aims to give readers the advantage of his years of experience as he comments on possible legal problems related to exercise testing and suggests ways to avoid them. This fourth edition features new chapters on paediatrics, nuclear and dobutamine exercise testing, and expanded coverage of computers in testing. There is more emphasis on the autonomic influences in myocardia perfusion, and exercise and hormonal replacement in myocardial function has been updated for men and women. New information is also included on the relationship of test results to heart function.
