Stress Testing Summary

Stress Testing: Principles and Practice by Myrvin H. Ellestad (Director of Research at the Memorial Heart Institute, Director of Research at the Memorial Heart Institute, Long Beach Memorial Medical Center, California, USA)

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.
