Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the Safety and feasibility of atropine added during
treadmill stress testing in patients with chronotropic incompetence or poor exercise
capacity.
Our hypothesis is that we can increase heart rate by using atropin in these patients, so we
will achieve more conclusive results.
Clinical Details
Official title: Safety and Feasibility of Atropine Added During Treadmill Stress Testing in Patients With Chronotropic Incompetence or Poor Exercise Capacity.
Study design: Allocation: Non-Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
Primary outcome: 1- To characterize patients who can't achieve target heart rate at treadmill exercise test.2- To evaluate atropine added during treadmill stress testing in order to increase heart rate and achieave conclusive test.
