Exercise stress testing is a valuable diagnostic tool in the detection of cardiac disease and related problems. This pocket guide provides an overview of exercise stress testing, indications for testing, and patient preparation, and then discusses each possible finding and what to do to complete/terminate a test or handle complications, etc. While there are enormously large volumes on the subject, it is not easy to find a small but thorough guide such as this.
I have begun a new cardiology position. One of my roles is to perform cardiac stress testing. I bought Dr. Chung's book and read it from cover to cover. It was what I needed to fill in the "holes" and give structure to what I was learning from on the job training. The book is concise and provides the information needed to perform stress testing competently (assuming you already have a good knowledge of EKG interpretation) I would encourage anyone new to stress testing to start with Dr. Chung's book.
You never go wrong with Dr. Chung's books! BUY IT!
