A retrospective study of accuracy and usefulness of electrophysiological exercise tests
ConclusionsElectrophysiological exercise test is not optimal to exclude skeletal muscle channelopathy. It may be useful if a skeletal muscle channelopathy is suspected and genetic testing is negative or indeterminate and further evidence is required. Slightly abnormal exercise test results are possible in various conditions and result from different aetiologies. There is a demand for neurophysiological studies with higher sensitivity to detect skeletal muscle channelopathies.
