Peak Cardiac Stress State: Physiological Mechanisms, Clinical Testing, and Cardiac Risk Management
1. Introduction The peak cardiac stress state represents the precise physiological moment when the heart muscle (myocardium) is subjected to its maximum tolerable workload. In clinical cardiology, inducing and monitoring this state is a foundational diagnostic tool used to evaluate the integrity of the coronary vascular system. Under resting conditions, a compromised cardiovascular system may … Read more
