Description
Although the general format of Stress Testing has not been changed in the Fifth Edition, the chapters have been thoroughly revised and updated. 'Take Home' messages are sprinkled throughout the book to emphasize major concepts. The chapter on electrocardiographic changes has been completely reorganized to highlight the importance of unconventional markers of ischemia. Two new chapters cover the role of exercise echocardiography and exercise testing in congestive heart failure.
Reviews / Votes
From reviews of the previous edition: This remains the best book to buy on the subject of exercise testing... an excellent book... recommended with enthusiasm. * International Journal of Cardiology * This book is to be recommended to all physicians who use exercise testing as a diagnostic or rehabilitation procedure. * Cardiology in Practice * I highly recommend this book for anyone involved in non-invasive cardiology. * Journal of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Technology * The author's style is to be lauded... (He) states clearly the absolute, relative and contraindications to stress testing... highly recommended. * Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation * I highly recommend this text as a well-written, integrated collection of current research, pathophysiology and clincal applications. * Physical Therapy *More details
