  • Title: [Comparative assessment of the value of the veloergometric test and anamnestic data in the diagnosis of coronary artery lesions in persons with pain in the cardiac area].
    Author: Khal'fen ESh, Alekseev IG.
    Journal: Ter Arkh; 1986; 58(5):11-4. PubMed ID: 3738782.
    Abstract:
    Clinical, bicycle ergometry and coronographic findings were compared in 161 patients with pains in the heart area. It was shown that patients with the involvement of the coronary arteries could be detected on the basis of anamnestic data and almost as frequently on the basis of the results of the bicycle ergometric test among persons with pains in the heart. In patients with a high probability of the involvement of the coronary arteries on the basis of anamnestic data a negative bicycle ergometric test was often false negative and in patients with a high probability of the absence of the involvement of the coronary arteries on the basis of anamnestic data the positive bicycle ergometric test was often false positive. The development of a typical angina attack during the bicycle ergometric test played the same role in the diagnosis of the involvement of the coronary arteries as a shift of the ST segment on ECG.
