What is History of Exercise Testing about?

The History of Exercise Testing chapter reviews the development of the exercise test from Einthoven to the contributions of Bruce and Ellestad. Feil and Siegel recognized that myocardial ischemia and thus coronary artery disease (CAD) could be diagnosed by ST depression during exercise. Master and Oppenheimer developed the first standardized exercise test, a 1.5-minute step test to evaluate cardiac capacity and cardiovascular disease. Goldhammer and Scherf recommended the use of exercise testing for the diagnosis of chest pain or angina. Wilson’s development of the six chest leads increased the opportunity to detect ischemia with 12 lead electrocardiography. Bruce developed the multi-stage treadmill test now termed the Bruce protocol. An outcome study of Ellestad demonstrated that 1 mm of ST depression predicted cardiac events and death. Following one hundred years of development, the exercise test remains the foundation of stress testing.
