This editorial refers to ‘Can prolonged exercise-induced myocardial ischaemia be innocuous?’ by M. Noël et al., doi:10.1093/eurheartj/ehm152

The first 10% of the full text of this article appears below.

Exercise testing remains a key tool in the management of patients with ischaemic heart disease (IHD) both in a diagnostic and rehabilitation setting. A familiar scenario involves performing an exercise test to identify inducible ischaemia either to determine whether IHD is a likely diagnosis or as a prelude to a structured exercise programme in individuals with a recent acute coronary syndrome or with chronic symptoms in whom IHD has already been diagnosed. Consequently, the prospect of prescribing exercise to patients is a problem faced regularly by clinicians. However, there is still an appropriate level of concern in recommending an activity which increases myocardial work and may provoke an imbalance between myocardial oxygen supply and demand. This is despite the risk of exercise . . . [Full Text of this Article]
