The patients entering this module are clinically stable IHD outpatients in routine follow-up. This population includes patients who have undergone an evaluation of their symptoms and have a firm diagnosis and/or those who have undergone revascularization interventions, such as a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA), or stent.

Exercise stress testing (EST) is recommended for all patients, prior to beginning an exercise program. A regular conditioning program can be initiated with a careful prescription of activity, based on the results of the exercise test.
