AB  - For  50  years,  exercise  testing  has  served  as  the  backbone  of  the  noninvasive  evaluation  of  coronary  artery  disease  (CAD)  and  as  an  essential  component  of  a  clinician’s  tool  kit.  Its  rationale  is  compelling:  it  is  simple,  widely  available,  and  inexpensive.  Underused  as  stand-alone  testing,  a  sophisticated  and  critical  evaluation  of  the  ECG  and  the  patient  during  exercise  and  recovery,  and  a  true  maximal  exercise  effort,  often  provides  the  test  sensitivity  required  for  decision  making  without  adjunctive  nuclear  or  echocardiographic  imaging.  When  adjunctive  imaging  is  used,  this  same  discriminatory  power  can  enhance  accuracy  and  confidence  in  the  combined  study.
