Since the introduction of treadmill exercise testing by Robert Bruce five decades ago, graded exercise testing has been a cornerstone of diagnostic procedures for coronary artery disease. An article in this issue of the Journal from the Cleveland Clinic Foundation (pages 781–790), along with a previous Journal article from the same group,¹ takes a new look at this frequently used test, focusing attention on the recovery period after the completion of exercise. Together, these studies show that careful observations during the period immediately after exercise provide important diagnostic and prognostic information; in so doing, they bring a new dimension to . . .
