Maximum Treadmill Exercise Electrocardiography in Female Patients

Maximum treadmill exercise electrocardiography in female patients.

Exercise testing has become standardized for the diagnostic and functional evaluation of male patients but little data is available regarding its specificity and sensitivity in the female. Therefore, maximum treadmill exercise (Bruce protocol) was performed on 98 consecutive females and compared to coronary arteriography. Using 50% obstruction as indicating coronary artery disease and 1 mm ST-s...

Maximum treadmill exercise test in patients with abnormal control electrocardiograms.

Improvements in exercise electrocardiography.

In 1908, Einthovent published the first example of normal electrocardiographic responses to exercise. In 1928, Feil and Siegel2 observed abnormal downsloping ST depression and T wave inversion in three of four patients experiencing anginal attacks (presumably after climbing stairs to the phy-sician's office; H. Hellerstein, personal communication). In 1932, Goldhammer and Scherf3 associated thi...

Progress in exercise electrocardiography.

situation resembling most electrophysiological studies. One other factor in favour of subpectoral automatic cardioverter/defibrillator implantation under local anaesthesia is the reduced complexity of the implant procedure, whereby the procedure-related risk for the patients is reduced, since the complication rate during a pacemaker-like approach of automatic cardioverter/ defibrillator implant...

Maximal treadmill exercise electrocardiography. Correlations with coronary arteriography and cardiac hemodynamics.

SUMMARY Electrocardiograms were recorded during and at 2-min intervals following maximal treadmill exercise in 100 patients and were correlated with coronary arteriograms, left ventricular cineangiograms, and resting and exercise cardiac hemodynamics. The incidence and extent of exercise-induced "ischemic" S-T segment depression increased significantly (P < 0.01) with increasing extent of coron...
