The aim of the study was to evaluate changes of ventricular repolarization variables during the exercise test in women with coronary heart disease, to determine variables, which can best predict significant coronary artery stenoses, and to improve noninvasive diagnostics of coronary heart disease. Ninety women with unstable angina pectoris undergone coronary artery angiography and exercise test on 4th-6th day of hospitalization at Kaunas University of Medicine Hospital. There was no difference in ventricular repolarization variables (JT interval, JT dispersion, JT and ST product) in women without coronary artery stenoses and those with one or two coronary artery stenoses. Sensitivity (87%), specificity (60%), positive predictive (43%), negative predictive (93%) and diagnostic value (67%) of stress test variable, which had no correlation with heart rate -ST and JT product- was greater comparing with ST depression greater than 0.1 mV (values respectively 61%, 49%, 29%, 79%, 52%). JT dispersion at the peak of exercise greater than 33 ms had the best diagnostic value (77%). The most accurate predictors of three-vessel disease are JT dispersion, ST and JT product at the peak of exercise and the fact of previous MI: JT dispersion at the peak of exercise more than 33 ms significantly increases three-vessel disease odds ratio 7.95 times. ST and JT product greater than 22,38 mV x ms significantly increases three-vessel disease odds ratio 13.9 times. The fact of previous MI significantly increases three-vessel disease odds ratio 6.85 times.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.

D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.

D004562 Electrocardiography Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY. 12-Lead ECG,12-Lead EKG,12-Lead Electrocardiography,Cardiography,ECG,EKG,Electrocardiogram,Electrocardiograph,12 Lead ECG,12 Lead EKG,12 Lead Electrocardiography,12-Lead ECGs,12-Lead EKGs,12-Lead Electrocardiographies,Cardiographies,ECG, 12-Lead,EKG, 12-Lead,Electrocardiograms,Electrocardiographies, 12-Lead,Electrocardiographs,Electrocardiography, 12-Lead
D005080 Exercise Test Controlled physical activity which is performed in order to allow assessment of physiological functions, particularly cardiovascular and pulmonary, but also aerobic capacity.
