The results found patients with S-CAD had a significantly lower RSR compared to patients without, suggesting RSR is a strong indicator for the disease.
Heart Attack - Overview
Heart attack is the death of the heart muscle due to loss of blood supply. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Other names for heart attack include acute myocardial infarction, coronary thrombosis, and coronary occlusion.

The cardiac respiratory stress test uses Pulse Oximeter (PPG) to measure blood flow in the finger in response to paced breathing over a 90 second time period.
"It is always challenging to detect significant coronary artery disease in patients at the physician's office and often required a physical stress test, including nuclear imaging and often cardiac catheterization" said lead investigator Ron Waksman, MD, Associate Director, Division of Cardiology, Washington Hospital Centre and professor of medicine (cardiology) at Georgetown University in Washington DC.

Depressed Patients Recover Sluggishly After Stress Test
Patients who are recovering from heart problems, but have depression take longer to return to their normal heart rate after taking a treadmill stress test

The Right Stress Test Does the Magic
The appropriate stress test maximizes the sensitivity and specificity though a lot of stress tests are available to help assess coronary disease.
