Inability of the ST segment/heart rate slope to predict accurately the severity of coronary artery disease.

چکیده
Analysis of the ST segment/heart rate slope during exercise testing has been suggested as a method of accurately predicting the presence and severity of coronary artery disease. Exercise tests were performed in 78 patients presenting with the chest pain to determine the maximum ST segment/heart rate slope. In 21 (27%) patients the ST segment/heart rate slope could not be calculated in any electrocardiographic lead. In the remaining 57 (73%) patients the maximum ST segment/heart rate slope accurately predicted the presence or absence of coronary disease in 44 patients (sensitivity 90%, specificity 40%). In addition, the extent of coronary disease was accurately predicted in 24 patients (sensitivity 42%). Thus the maximum ST segment/heart rate slope did not perfectly predict either the presence or the severity of significant coronary artery disease.

Background: Coronary artery disease is considered as main factor for patients’ hospitalization. Chest pain is the most common symptoms of patients and its assessment is an important factor in coronary artery disease. So, this study aimed to determine the relationship between the severity of chest pain with physiological indexes in patients with coronary artery disease. Methods: This study wa...
متن کاملAssessment of aortocoronary bypass grafting using exercise ST segment/heart rate relation.
The maximal rate of progression of ST segment depression relative to increases in heart rate (maximal ST/HR slope) has recently been shown to be an accurate index of the presence and the severity of coronary heart disease in patients with angina. The value of this new exercise test was assessed in patients undergoing aortocoronary bypass. The maximal ST/HR slope and the results of coronary angi...

Normal values for heart rate-adjusted indexes of ST segment depression during treadmill exercise electrocardiography (the ST segment/heart rate slope and the delta ST segment/heart rate index) were derived from evaluation of 150 subjects with a low likelihood of coronary artery disease, including 100 normal subjects and 50 subjects with nonanginal chest pain. Partitions chosen by the method of ...
