guys i need help on this case:
a 65 y/o man sustained a mild MI a week ago. he was instructed to have resting ECG and a treadmill stress test before his discharge from the hospital. using the bruce protocol, the cardiologist noted that the patient was able to last for 8 minutes before experiencing fatigue of his lower extremities.
question:
1. what lab test will you perform?
2. why this test?
thank you doctors.
