The exercise test may be regarded as an objective measure of functional capacity and a useful adjunct to the history given by the patient. As a means of diagnosis it has many limitations but a positive result in a male patient provides good corroborative evidence for the presence of coronary artery disease. As a means of predicting severity of disease the test remains imperfect but may prove useful with further refinements. The exercise test is of little value for screening except in special circumstances.
运动试验可被视为功能能力的客观测量方法，也是对患者所提供病史的有益补充。作为一种诊断手段，它有许多局限性，但男性患者运动试验阳性可为冠状动脉疾病的存在提供有力的确证依据。作为预测疾病严重程度的手段，该试验仍不完善，但随着进一步改进可能会证明有用。运动试验除在特殊情况下外，用于筛查价值不大。
