Researchers want to understand how coronary artery disease affects exercise capacity differently in your arms compared to your legs. You'll complete two exercise tests — one using a treadmill for your legs and one using an arm machine — while doctors measure your heart's response, blood vessel stiffness, muscle oxygen levels, and energy use.
Most studies on heart artery disease focus only on leg exercise, but people use their arms more in daily life. This study fills that gap by comparing both upper and lower body exercise capacity, which could help doctors give better advice about safe activities for patients with this condition.

You will visit the clinic twice, 48 hours apart. During your first visit, you'll exercise on a treadmill while doctors measure your heart's response, blood vessel stiffness, muscle oxygen, and breathing effort. During your second visit, you'll do a similar test using an arm exercise machine. Both tests include measurements before and after exercise using special equipment to monitor your body's responses.
