These are five reasons an exercise test should be terminated.
- Onset of angina
- Drop in SBP
- Onset of angina
- Drop in SBP 10 mmHg with an increase in work rate or if lower than baseline
- Excessive rise in BP: SBP > 250 mmHg, DBP > 115 mmHg
- Shortness of breath, wheezing, leg cramps, or claudication
- Signs of poor perfusion (light-headness, confusion, nausea, cold/clammy skin)

- Noticeable change in heart rhythm
- They say stop
- Physical or verbal manifestations of severe fatigue
- Failure of the testing equipment
