Class I - There is evidence and/or general agreement that exercise testing for arrhythmia evaluation should be performed for the following indications: |
• To identify the appropriate settings in patients with rate adaptive pacemakers. |
• To evaluate patients with congenital complete heart block patients prior to initiation of increased physical activity or participation in competitive sports. |
Class IIa - The weight of evidence or opinion is in favor of benefit from exercise testing for arrhythmia evaluation for the following indications: |
• To evaluate suspected exercise-induced arrhythmias. |
• As part of the evaluation for medical, surgical, or ablative therapy in patients with known exercise-induced arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation. |
Class IIb - The evidence or opinion is less well established that exercise testing for arrhythmia evaluation is beneficial for the following indications: |
• To evaluate ventricular premature beats in middle-aged patients without evidence of coronary artery disease. |
• To evaluate young patients with first-degree atrioventricular block, type I (Wenckebach) second degree atrioventricular block, left bundle branch block, right bundle branch block, or isolated ectopic beats prior to participation in competitive sports. |
Class III - There is evidence that exercise testing for arrhythmia evaluation is not useful and may be harmful in the following setting: |
• As part of the routine evaluation of isolated ectopic beats in young patients. |
