regular follow-up for patients with known coronary artery disease
specific screening in certain professions, e.g. pilots, firemen
coronary angioplasty and coronary artery bypass grafting
reassessment if recurring symptoms
routine pre- and post-intervention evaluation
heart failure
diagnosis of cause (contraindicated if aortic stenosis, acute pulmonary oedema, or coincident left main coronary artery stenosis)
arrhythmias
diagnostic procedure if presentation with exercise -related palpitations, dizziness, syncope
selection of pacemaker in chronic atrioventricular block
Notes:
NICE suggest that an exercise ECG should only be used as a diagnostic test in patients with known coronary artery disease (CAD) with new onset possible cardiac chest pain:
do not use exercise ECG to diagnose or exclude stable angina for people without known CAD (1)
