Treadmill stress testing has many applications in the overall evaluation of ischemic heart disease, both as a diagnostic aid and as an aid in serially following patients under study. Its use in the evaluation of procedures designed to improve myocardial function and coronary perfusion is of great value, for it can supply objective evidence without recourse to more difficult procedures such as determination of blood lactate levels. Ancillary procedures which may complement treadmill stress testing may prove to be valuable additions to the study of ischemic heart disease. The reported high rate of false-positive Master two-step tests would tend to make the treadmill exercise test more attractive.
跑步机应激试验在缺血性心脏病的整体评估中有许多应用，既作为诊断辅助手段，也作为对正在研究的患者进行连续跟踪的辅助手段。它在评估旨在改善心肌功能和冠状动脉灌注的程序方面具有重要价值，因为它可以提供客观证据，而无需采用更困难的程序，如测定血乳酸水平。可能补充跑步机应激试验的辅助程序可能被证明是缺血性心脏病研究中有价值的补充。据报道，Master两步试验的假阳性率很高，这往往会使跑步机运动试验更具吸引力。
