Data from exercise tolerance testing should be incorporated into clinical decision making. A strategy for stratification of individual patients into high, indeterminate, and low‐risk categories using Bruce protocol exercise testing is outlined. This approach will help to ensure further evaluation of high‐risk individuals without excessive testing of patients having excellent long‐term prognoses.
