Significance of ST-segment depression with R-wave amplitude decrease on exercise testing

Am J Cardiol. 1999 Mar 15;83(6):955-9, A9. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9149(98)01053-4.

Abstract

A retrospective evaluation was performed of patients who underwent exercise tests and angiography and 50 ambulatory normal subjects who underwent only exercise testing. We found that when deltaST depression of 0.5 mm was combined with deltaR-wave decrease of 1 mm, the sensitivity and specificity were improved.
