Part 2
Dr. Jesús Peteiro
This study was conducted to examine the relationship between a daily activity - i.e. climbing stairs - and the results obtained from exercise testing in a laboratory. "The idea was to find a simple and inexpensive method of assessing heart health," said Dr. Peteiro. "This can help physicians triage patients for more extensive examinations."
