Multiple-Lead Exercise Electrocardiography

چکیده
A svstem of miultiple-lead exeicise electrocardiography has been applied to the study of 107 normal subjects and 67 patients with angina pectoris. The results of this test are compared to those of coronary cinearteriography in 84 patients. In-exercise ECGs gave useful additional information in 59% of the angina patients but were essential for interpretation in 9%. It added considerably to the safety of the test. The value of each individual lead and of the multiple lead system was assessed. Lead V6 was the most often positive, but each made a contribution in some cases. Test-retest reproducibility survey indicated that five of 65 tests on 25 subjects failed to conform. Evidence has been presented that 1.0 mm of ischemic S-T segment shift was the best criterion for a positive test in the subjects studied. The test was positive in 84% of 67 patients with angina pectoris and 3.7% of 107 normal subjects (excluding vasoregulatory hyperreactors). The double twostep test given to the first 41 of the same angina patients for comparison was found to give 61% positive reactions despite the use of multiple leads and in-exercise recording. The test was administered to 84 subjects who were studied concurrently by selective coronary cinearteriograms and these two parameters were compared with the clinical diagnosis of angina in each patient. Since each of these parameters represents a different facet of coronary arterial disease, the agreement among them is very instructive.

Reliability of single-lead and multiple-lead electrocardiography during and after exercise.
To define the number, type, and criteria for interpretation of elecfrocardiographic leads yielding the most reliable results during and after exercise, 203 men were studied. Twelve-lead exercise electrocardiograms (including lead CM5) and coronary arteriograms were correlated. Depression of the S-T segment that was present only during exercise was of doubtful significance. Analysis of ECGs afte...

Prevalence and Associated Clinical Characteristics of Exercise-Induced ST-Segment Elevation in Lead aVR
BACKGROUND Exercise-induced ST-segment elevation (STE) in lead aVR may be an important indicator of prognostically important coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the prevalence and associated clinical features of exercise-induced STE in lead aVR among consecutive patients referred for exercise stress electrocardiography (ExECG) is unknown. METHODS All consecutive patients receiving a Bruce...

We enrolled 250 patients with acute myocardial infarction after they had been discharged from the cardiac intensive care unit. Among 236 patients who performed a low-level exercise test just before hospital discharge, 52 (22%) had exercise-induced ST depression of at least 0.1 mV in ECG lead V5, 102 (43%) had ventricular arrhythmias, and 121 (51%) had an exercise capacity of shorter than 6 minu...

To define the optimal lead system for exercise electrocardiography, data of the whole body surface potential distribution were analyzed in 25 normal subjects and in 25 patients with coronary artery disease at rest and during exercise. All patients had a normal electrocardiogram at rest. The sensitivity of the standard chest leads was 60 percent; it improved to 84 percent with the body surface m...
