OBJECTIVE to compare the relative value of Atrial Pacing and Exercise Electrocardiography in the diagnosis of Myocardial Ischaemia. METHODS prospective study in patients referred for coronary cineangiography. METHODS Cineangiography and Ergonometry Departments of Cardiology Service. Santa Maria Hospital. METHODS 16 patients (mean age 52.4 +/- 6.3), 13 males and 3 females. All were submitted to Atrial Pacing, Exercise Test and Coronariography. RESULTS both tests were concordant in all cases but one, with negative Atrial Pacing, positive Exercise Test and negative Coronariography. CONCLUSIONS Atrial Pacing compares favourably with Exercise Test in the diagnosis of Coronary Ischaemic Disease. It may constitute a valid alternative in patients unable to perform a conclusive Exercise Test.
