Although ergometry is no longer recommended as a primary test in current European guidelines for the diagnosis of coronary heart disease (as it is clearly inferior to modern, non-invasive imaging techniques), it can still be used to assess the stress limit, operability, objectification of physical performance, symptoms of complaints, arrhythmias, blood pressure behavior and risk stratification in selected patients. If the indications are adequately defined, correctly performed and interpreted in a competent and systematic manner, ergometry is a valuable instrument in cardiovascular diagnostics.
