Zusammenfassung:Methods and devices for the diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD) by means of a closed loop drug delivery system that delivers a catecholamine exercise simulating agent, some of which are novel, which elicit both acute and adaptive cardiovascular responses similar to those elicited by aerobic activity are provided. The acute responses to the exercise simulating agent are used to diagnose and evaluate CAD in lieu of the acute responses to aerobic exercise. Due to their adaptive responses these compounds may be used to treat CAD in lieu of the adaptive responses caused by aerobic exercise training or to treat other conditions which the adaptive responses caused by aerobic exercise are desirable.
