    Author: Fernandes F, Morais C, Esteves M, Camilo V, Nazaré J, da Cunha JC, Amram SS.
    Journal: Rev Port Cardiol; 1990 Sep; 9(9):675-9. PubMed ID: 2257154.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: to compare the relative value of Atrial Pacing and Exercise Electrocardiography in the diagnosis of Myocardial Ischaemia. DESIGN: prospective study in patients referred for coronary cineangiography. SETTING: Cineangiography and Ergonometry Departments of Cardiology Service. Santa Maria Hospital. PATIENTS: 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.
