Precordial exercise mapping: improved diagnosis of coronary artery disease.
Surface mapping of the exercise electrocardiogram (ECG) provides a measure of the precordial area, severity, and time course of ST-segment changes occurring after exercise. Sixteen-lead isopotential surface maps were recorded before and after exercise in 109 patients with probable angina who subsequently underwent coronary arteriography. In addition, exercise ECGs with three orthogonal leads we...
متن کاملMyocardial perfusion scan accuracy in detection of coronary artery disease - Comparison with exercise stress test [Persian]
Introduction: In patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) noninvasive evaluation for detection of ischemia is important to avoid invasive interventions like angiography. Exercise stress test is conventionally the first study used in evaluation of CAD. Considering the noninvasive nature of the myocardial perfusion scan, we decided to compare its accuracy with stress test. Methods: Patie...
متن کاملCoronary Calcifications in the Detection of Coronary Artery Disease and Comparison with Electrocardiographic Exercise Testing
Recent studies have noted the limitations of the exercise ECG as a screening test for coronary artery disease (CAD), particularly in asymptomatic patients. To improve the sensitivity and predictive accuracy of noninvasive screening studies, we analyzed the results of using cardiac fluoroscopy (to detect coronary calcifications) in conjunction with electrocardiographic exercise testing to detect...
متن کاملDiagnostic Properties of Exercise Electrocardiographic Leads and Variables in the Detection of Coronary Artery Disease
In Finland, coronary artery disease (CAD) is the main cause of death among the middle-aged population. The exercise electrocardiographic (ECG) test is the most widely used non-invasive method of assessing CAD. However, diagnostic performance in conventional analysis of the exercise ECG is limited to approximately 75%; many patients in need of treatment may thus be excluded from subsequent exami...
