""Take Home"" messages are sprinkled throughout the book to emphasize major concepts. The chapter on electrocardiographic changes has been completely re-organized to highlight the importance of unconventional markers of ischemia.

Reviews
I highly recommend this text as a well-written, integrated collection of current research, pathophysiology and clincal applications. * Physical Therapy * 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 book for anyone involved in non-invasive cardiology. * Journal of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Technology * This book is to be recommended to all physicians who use exercise testing as a diagnostic or rehabilitation procedure. * Cardiology in Practice * This remains the best book to buy on the subject of exercise testing... an excellent book... recommended with enthusiasm. * International Journal of Cardiology * From reviews of the previous edition:
"""The main audience for this text will likely continue to be cardiologistsbut parts may be of value as reference material for more experienced clinicians who perform or interpret stress tests regularly."" -Physical Therapy ""The main audience for this text will likely continue to be cardiologistsbut parts may be of value as reference material for more experienced clinicians who perform or interpret stress tests regularly."" -Physical Therapy ""This is an excellent reference of very high quality and it is probably the best source for clinical pratitioners and researchers in the field of exercise testing. The book is concise, easy to read and understand, and useful in everyday practice. This fifth edition is an important improvement over the previous edition because the new material carries clinical significance and impacts the way stress testing is used in the clinical practice.""--Doody's"
