On Coronary Artery Disease and EKG Machines (Part 7): A CardioTech GT-200 Light Interpretive EKG w/ Memory Product Review

And now for the seventh installment of the On Coronary Artery Disease and EKG Machines article series, we will be discussing here about the benefits of exercise to coronary artery disease.

Separate to the question of the benefits of exercise; it is unclear whether doctors should spend time counseling patients to exercise. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), based on a systematic review of randomized controlled trials, found 'insufficient evidence' to recommend that doctors counsel patients on exercise, but "it did not review the evidence for the effectiveness of physical activity to reduce chronic disease, morbidity and mortality", it only examined the effectiveness of the counseling itself.

However, the American Heart Association, based on a non-systematic review, recommends that doctors counsel patients on exercise.

Allow me to stop there for a moment to give a review on this yet another superb EKG device brand CardioTech: CardioTech GT-200 Light Interpretive EKG w/ Memory.
