Specific slow treadmill procedures are not mandatory in patients with extremely short test durations when performing standard (3.2 km/hr 10% slope) exercise oximetry. In patients expected to be unable to walk at standard speed, the -15 mmHg normal limit seems to be valid for the interpretation of tests with a slow procedure (2.0 km/hr).
