Evaluation of the Benefit of Exercise Testing for the Diagnosis of Obstruction in the Coronary Arteries of the Heart

Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Sud Francilien

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether exercise testing can detect an obstruction in a coronary artery, and, thereby, can avoid performing a coronary imaging in some cases. Patients with a suspicion of coronary artery disease perform an exercise test on an exercise bike with increasing load. EKG, blood pressure, and other parameters are monitored. Patients benefit also of either a cardiac CT scan or a coronary angiography to establish whether they really have coronary obstruction.

Official title: Evaluation of the Predictive Power of Double-product Increase Measured During an Exercise Test for the Prediction of Coronary Stenosis As Diagnosed by Cardiac CT Scan or Coronary Angiography.
