Article Synopsis
- - Routine exercise induces different cardiovascular changes in males and females, which are detectable through cardiac tests like electrocardiograms and imaging.
- - Understanding these sex-based differences is crucial, as they mirror trends found in the general population, but current research is lacking due to fewer female participants.
- - This review aims to explore how sex influences cardiovascular adaptations during exercise, the role of sex hormones in performance, and suggests vital areas for future studies.
Clinical guidelines advocate for customization of exercise testing to address patient-specific diagnostic goals, including reproduction of presenting exertional symptoms. However, the diagnostic yield of adding customized exercise testing to graded exercise in patients presenting with exertional complaints has not been rigorously examined and is the focus of this study. Using prospectively collected data, we analyzed the diagnostic yield of customized additional exercise provocation following inconclusive graded exercise test with measurement of gas exchange.
