The treadmill electrocardiogram (ECG) stress test is widely used to screen for
obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). The presence of STsegment changes,
either depression or elevation, on the ECG during the treadmill test often
suggests presence of CAD and warrants further management. We herein present three
cases, with evidence of ischaemia on the treadmill ECG stress test. In addition,
we discuss the use of the treadmill ECG stress test, including its indications,
contraindications, reasons for termination and interpretation of the ST-segment
changes, heart rate, as well as blood pressure responses to exercise.
