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.
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.
• Starting betweew 1/1/2019 and 3/1/2022
• 18 year-old patients or older
• Patients with both exercise testing and either Cardiac CT or coronary angiography within 3 months
• Patients informed and not opposing to their participation to the study
