Abstract:The 1930s witnessed the application of electrocardiogram into exercise test, called exercise electrocardiogram. In the 1960s, exercise electrocardiogram was popularized in clinical diagnosis of myocardial ischemia. In the past few decades, great development has been achieved in this field. This paper updates the interpretation for exercise electrocardiogram, according to Exercise standards for testing and training published by AHA in 2013.
