  • Title: Exercise ECG changes in normal women.
    Author: Cumming GR, Dufresne C, Samm J.
    Journal: Can Med Assoc J; 1973 Jul 21; 109(2):108-11. PubMed ID: 4722076.
    Abstract:
    Submaximal and/or maximal exercise was carried out by 357 women without a history of cardiovascular disease, using a bicycle ergometer and/or treadmill while monitored by a bipolar ECG lead CM(5). In 40- to 60-year-old women the incidence of an ischemic ECG pattern during or after exercise ranged from 20 to 50%. Because clinical coronary disease can be expected in less than 10% of normal women followed for 16 years, most of these ECG changes were not considered to be due to occult coronary disease. At the present time exercise ECG changes in women cannot be used with any reliability as an aid in the diagnosis of chest pain or in screening normal female populations for coronary heart disease.
