Abstract Introduction: A cardiac cause is an extremely rare etiology of pediatric chest pain.
Despite its low sensitivity/specificity, exercise stress testing (EST) is widely used to
determine the prognosis in patients with suspected/established coronary disease.
We aimed to look at the utility of a combined cardiopulmonary EST in the evaluation
of pediatric patients with chest pain.
Methods: After institutional review board approval, a retrospective chart review was
performed of all pediatric patients who were referred for an EST for chest pain from
January 2014 to 2017. Patients with incomplete records, severe congenital heart disease, and a prior EST were excluded.
