Clinical use of atrial pacing test in angina pectoris.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Atrial pacing can be used as a safe test in the assessment of patients with angina pectoris. The results are useful in clinical judgements, and this method of investigation may be indicated for patients in whom the diagnosis of angina pectoris is in doubt or who are being considered for surgical treatment of ischaemic heart disease.

Haemodynamic comparisons of atrial pacing and exercise in patients with angina pectoris.
Though exercise is the most physiological test for angina pectoris, it has several disadvantages. The most important are that, it is difficult to achieve a steady state, comparable haemodynamic parameters are not readily reproducible during repeated periods of exercise (Burkart, Barold, and Sowton, 1967), it cannot be used effectively in patients with poor exercise tolerance, and angina pectori...
متن کاملComparison of atrial pacing and the cold pressor test in patients with angina pectoris.
A haemodynamic and myocardial metabolic study was performed to compare effects of maximal atrial pacing and the cold pressor test (CPT) in patients with angina pectoris. Twelve patients (group I) had angiographically severe coronary artery disease, while 16 patients (group II) had normal coronary angiograms. At maximal pacing, angina developed in all patients in group I, and myocardial lactate ...
متن کاملInvestigation of the physiological basis for increased exercise threshold for angina pectoris after physical conditioning.
Eight patients with coronary heart disease and exertional angina pectoris successfully completed an 11-15 wk program of endurance exercise conditioning. Angina threshold was determined by upright bicycle ergometer exercise and by atrial pacing. The product of heart rate and arterial systolic blood pressure at the exercise angina threshold was higher after conditioning. suggesting that condition...
متن کاملCoronary artery disease: evaluation by the multistage treadmill exercise test and right atrial pacing.
Atrial pacing and treadmill exercise were performed by 28 patients to determine the value of each test in the clinical and functional evaluation of the patient with coronary artery disease (CAD). The functional aerobic impairment (FAI) in 20 patients was 48 percent (eight patients with unstable angina paced but not exercised) and the pacing ventricular function curve (VFC) was abnormal in 13 of...
متن کاملEvaluation of rapid atrial pacing in diagnosis of coronary artery disease. Evaluation of atrial pacing test.
Seventeen patients presenting with anginal-type pain were studied by bicycle exercise testing, rapid atrial pacing, and coronary angiography. Ten patients with angina and abnormal pacing tests at rates less than 180/minute were found to have significant coronary artery disease as demonstrated by coronary angiography. Seven patients with pacing-induced chest pain only at rates of 180 and above h...
