Abstract

Proper exercise test protocol selection is essential to allow adequate time for observation of subjective and physiologic responses to exercise, as well as provider-patient interaction and patient comfort. This study evaluates the accuracy of a pretest questionnaire in predicting exercise capacity for exercise test protocol selection and compares the accuracy of this questionnaire when ramp versus step protocols are used.
