title: [Comparison of the informative value of the dipyridamole test, transesophageal electrostimulation and exercise tests in the diagnosis of coronary heart disease].
abstract: The informative value of dipyridamole test, transesophageal cardiac pacing, bicycle ergometer and treadmill exercise tests were compared in 65 patients suspected for coronary heart disease and Functional Classes I-III angina pectoris. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of the techniques alone and in various combinations were evaluated. The incoincidence of results from exercise tests was ascertained to be 40-48%. The significance of diagnosis increased with combined functional examination and reached the maximum when all the four tests were performed. The use of the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value of the techniques in assessing the individual test results allows the optimal scope of studies to be determined on an individual basis in order to make or exclude the diagnosis of coronary heart disease.
