Post stress tissue Doppler imaging can identify false positive exercise electrocardiogram.
نویسنده
چکیده
Post stress tissue Doppler imaging can diagnose false positive response on exercise electrocardiography. Tissue Doppler imaging thus provides additional useful parameter to increase specificity of stress testing for evaluation of coronary artery disease.

The Accuracy of the Electrocardiogram during Exercise Stress Test Based on Heart Size
BACKGROUND Multiple studies have shown that the exercise electrocardiogram (ECG) is less accurate for predicting ischemia, especially in women, and there is additional evidence to suggest that heart size may affect its diagnostic accuracy. HYPOTHESIS The purpose of this investigation was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of the exercise ECG based on heart size. METHODS We evaluated 1,011 co...
متن کاملNon-invasive estimation of cardiac wall stress by using tissue doppler-echocardiography ultrasound images: People with coronary artery stenosis
In this study, a method for non-invasive estimation of stress on the heart wall in the diastole phase is presented using ultrasound echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging. The aim of this study was to evaluate the stress on the heart wall as a pre-diagnosis to identify people with coronary artery stenosis. 29 patients with stenosis of more than 70%, 30 patients with stenosis of 50 to 7...
متن کاملThe untalked about problem of false positive test results.
The problems associated with false positive test results are legendary. Such problems are likely to continue because it is apparently unrealistic to dream of a test that, when positive, always signifies that the patient has the condition for which the test was ordered. I wish to point out another variation on the theme. To do so I will use the exercise electrocardiographic stress test as an exa...
متن کاملOverview of exercise stress testing.
Exercise stress testing is a non-invasive, safe and affordable screening test for coronary artery disease (CAD), provided there is careful patient selection for better predictive value. Patients at moderate risk for CAD are best served with this kind of screening, with the exception of females during their reproductive period, when a high incidence of false positive results has been reported. P...
متن کاملStress echocardiography in special groups: in women, in left bundle branch block, in hypertension and after heart transplantation.
The non-invasive diagnosis of coronary artery disease by exercise electrocardiography is less accurate in women than in men, with a high rate of false-positive results in women. In contrast, recent studies have demonstrated that stress echocardiography in women is more accurate than exercise echocardiography and that the significantly higher specificity of stress electrocardiography may have th...
