Abstract
Due to the widespread introduction into current cardiology practice new visualization methods for transitory myocardial ischemia diagnosis, the feasibility routine exercise ECG tests is being questioned. The purpose of this investigation was to assess the diagnostic significance of submaximal ex-ercise ECG tests in 46 patients (55,1±8,5 years). The tests results were compared with coronaroangi-ography findings. Exercise tests sensitivity was 84.0%, specificity - 52.38%, positive predictive value - 67.74% and negative predictive value - 73.33%. Patients with positive tests had more mul-tivessel coronary artery disease (32,3% vs 6,7%, p=0,01) and significantly lower the level of exercise tolerance. Thus, in current practice exercise ECG tests remains a highly informative method of transitory myocardial ischemia diagnosis.
