Editing Cardiac stress test (section)

==History==
Cardiac stress testing, used since the 1960s, has a history rooted in the diagnostic and prognostic assessment of patients with suspected [[coronary artery disease]]. It has evolved to evaluate inducible [[myocardial ischemia]] as an indicator of adverse outcomes. The factors influencing mortality risk have changed over time due to decreasing angina symptoms, increasing prevalence of conditions like [[diabetes]] and [[obesity]], and the rise in pharmacologic testing for patients unable to exercise during stress tests.<ref name="pmid36931544">{{cite journal |vauthors=Rozanski A, Sakul S, Narula J, Uretsky S, Lavie CJ, Berman D |title=Assessment of lifestyle-related risk factors enhances the effectiveness of cardiac stress testing |journal=Prog Cardiovasc Dis |volume=77 |issue= |pages=95–106 |date=2023 |pmid=36931544 |doi=10.1016/j.pcad.2023.03.004|s2cid=257592720 |doi-access=free }}</ref>
