Treadmill exercise test for predicting coronary disease.

Treadmill exercise test using body surface mapping. A quantitative diagnostic method for coronary artery disease.

In order to evaluate coronary artery disease quantitatively we recorded body surface maps before and after treadmill exercise in 27 patients suspected of having coronary artery disease. Electrocardiograms were recorded from 87 points on the anterior and posterior chest wall. The pre-exercise ST level was subtracted from post-exercise ST level at each lead point and an ST difference MAP was cons...

Exercise Treadmill Test in Detecting Asymptomatic Coronary Artery Disease in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

BACKGROUND The present study was designed to develop criteria for screening patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) for asymptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS A total of 213 patients with T2DM without typical angina or chest pain were studied between 2002 and 2007. We also evaluated 53 patients with T2DM who had reported chest discomfort using an exercise treadmill test (ET...

Coronary artery disease: evaluation by the multistage treadmill exercise test and right atrial pacing.

Atrial pacing and treadmill exercise were performed by 28 patients to determine the value of each test in the clinical and functional evaluation of the patient with coronary artery disease (CAD). The functional aerobic impairment (FAI) in 20 patients was 48 percent (eight patients with unstable angina paced but not exercised) and the pacing ventricular function curve (VFC) was abnormal in 13 of...

Reliable prediction of coronary disease using treadmill exercise testing.

Algorithm for Predicting Disease Likelihood From a Submaximal Exercise Test

We developed a simplified automated algorithm to interpret noninvasive gas exchange in healthy subjects and patients with heart failure (HF, n = 12), pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH, n = 11), chronic obstructive lung disease (OLD, n = 16), and restrictive lung disease (RLD, n = 12). They underwent spirometry and thereafter an incremental 3-minute step test where heart rate and SpO2 respira...
