Initially developed to detect the presence of myocardial ischemia secondary to coronary artery disease (CAD), the exercise electrocardiogram (ECG) is now recognized for its power in predicting prognosis. The exercise test has been used by clinicians for more than half a century, and its durability can be attributed to its evolution over time. It is easy to administer, perform, and interpret it is flexible and adaptable and it is reliable, inexpensive, and readily available in hospital or practice settings.
