Several methods for evaluation of exercise stress testing (EST) have been described in order to analyze the relationship between ST segment changes and heart rate. The ST/HR slope has demonstrated to be worthwhile in identifying severe coronary artery disease (CAD). We applied this method in patients catalogued as borderline in the traditional exercise test to find out if they could be considered to have a severe CAD. The patients were divided into two groups: the A, which included 41 patients with borderline EST, and the group B with 41 patients with normal EST. Age, risk factors, double product and ST/HR slope were evaluated. The testing was done on a treadmill with the Bruce protocol. Four patients in group A had ST/HR slope greater than 6.0 mu Volt/beat/min (two of them with borderline EST). Whereas all patients in group B had ST/HR slope values less than 6.0. We concluded this is a sensitive method for discrimination between normal and borderline EST. We found no correlation among age, sex, risk factors, double product and ST/HR slope. Approximately 10 percent of borderline EST would be underestimated with the traditional method. The calculation of the slope obtained its maximum applicability in patients with almost maximum EST.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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. Maximal (most intense) exercise is usually required but submaximal exercise is also used.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
