Stress Testing in Cardiac Evaluation

Excessively rapid rises in rate result primarily from reduced left ventricular stroke volume, which, in turn, may be caused by physical deconditioning or cardiac disease.

Cardiac surgery
Cardiovascular (heart) surgery is surgery on the heart or great vessels performed by cardiac surgeons. Frequently, it is done to treat complications of ischemic heart disease (for example, coronary artery bypass grafting), correct congenital heart disease, or treat valvular heart disease from various causes including endocarditis, rheumatic heart disease and atherosclerosis. It also includes heart transplantation.
