BACKGROUND: Exercise (Ex) electrocardiography (ECG) is the most widely used noninvawe test for evaluating symptoms suggestive of coronary artery disease (CAD). we report additional exercise test variables predictive of negative Ex Echo. All patients (Pts) had a normal resting ECG and adequate exercise capacity by history. majority of women and (2) ~85% of positive Ex ECG associated with negative Ex Echo BACKGROUND Although exercise (Ex) electrocardiography (ECG) IS the most commonly employed initial test to assess patients with symptoms suggestive of coronary pts (110 males, 30 females; mean age 51 yrs [30-821) referred for Ex Echo after a positive Ex ECG and a treadmill workload of 210 METS. RESULTS: Ex Echo was negative in 94% (131/140) of Pts and positive in 6% (9/ ./cache/work_xhuc334wpbesxaig56hyuqukyi.pdf ./txt/work_xhuc334wpbesxaig56hyuqukyi.txt
