The most common methods of stress testing predominantly include the treadmill and bicycle ergometer. Both of these modalities are widely used due to their effectiveness in evaluating cardiovascular response during physical exercise. The treadmill is a very familiar option, allowing for a range of intensity levels and is conducive to exercises that mimic real walking or running conditions, which are often more relatable for patients. The bicycle ergometer is also favored as it provides a controlled environment, allowing the clinician to easily monitor the patient's response to exercise while requiring less coordination than running or walking.

Both options are non-invasive and can effectively assess heart function and help diagnose various cardiac conditions. They have been extensively studied and validated, making them the standard choices in clinical practice for stress testing procedures. This combination is significant for accurately identifying exercise-induced ischemia and other cardiovascular abnormalities.

Other options may include different forms of exercise testing, but the treadmill and bicycle ergometer remain the go-to options due to their widespread acceptance and established reliability in clinical settings.
