目的1.早期偵測或評估冠狀動脈疾病：有心臟病家族史、糖尿病、高血壓及高血脂症患者於健檢時做運動心電圖檢查，約可找出七成無症狀的冠狀動脈性疾病。2.評估心肺功能：現代人大部分工作忙碌且缺乏運動，我們可藉此檢查來評估心肺功能，以瞭解體能及耐力，繼而調整自己日常生活運動量，降低發病的風險。3.日常生活中常感到心悸、胸悶、呼吸困難…等不適的人，可以藉由此項檢查確認有無心臟疾患。4.建議男性40歲、女性50歲以上的人作健康檢查時，可選擇做運動心電圖，而在日常生活中常發生心悸、胸悶、呼吸困難等症狀的人，更要選擇此項檢查；此外，心血管疾病高危險群，如高血壓、高血脂症及心臟病家族史的人也希望能定時做運動心電圖檢查，以達到早期偵測、早期治療目的。  Exercise stress testing is commonly used for the detection of CAD in patients with chest pain or dyspnea on exertion who are at intermediate risk of acute coronary syndrome. Exercise stress testing reduces costs of hospitalization without worsening outcomes in patients presenting to the emergency department with chest pain and negative cardiac enzymes.   Exercise stress testing is used to detect inducible cardiac ischemia in symptomatic intermediate-risk patients who can exercise and who have interpretable electrocardiography results.1 Risk is determined by American College of Cardiology Foundation/American Heart Association (ACCF/AHA) guidelines for stable ischemic heart disease or the Diamond and Forrester score to assess pretest probability of coronary artery disease (CAD; Table 1).
