Exercise testing remains the most accessible and widely used technique for the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) and for the assessment of its severity. Clinical usefulness of the simple exercise test is limited by poor sensitivity and imperfect specificity. Many patients referred for diagnostic stress testing cannot achieve an adequate increase in heart rate due to lack of motivation, poor physical condition, or medications. Atropine increases the heart rate and therefore myocardial oxygen consumption, and might improve the diagnostic accuracy of exercise testing, either reducing the number of non-diagnostic examinations, or increasing the positivity of the test in patients with non severe coronary disease.
