title: [Comparative assessment of stress electrocardiographic and echocardiographic tests in the diagnosis of insufficiency of the coronary circulation].
abstract: Altogether 29 patients (14 with a characteristic clinical picture of CHD, 6 with probable angina and 9 with nonischemic cardialgia) were investigated by methods of two-dimensional echocardiography (echoCG) at rest and in combination with isometric exercise and left atrial transesophageal pacing test (LATPT) as well as by electrocardiographic exercise tests (bicycle ergometry testing and LATPT). EchCG exercise tests were conducted in most of the examinees (96.6%) whereas bicycle ergometry results were obtained in 75.9% of the patients (p less than 0.05). A significantly higher frequency of positive results of echoCG exercise tests in patients with typical CHD as compared to electrocardiographic exercise tests, and significantly high correlation of the results of the combination of echoCG with isometric exercise and echoCG with a degree of the pain syndrome in the heart area were revealed. The results obtained made it possible to recommend echoCG exercise tests for the diagnosis of coronary insufficiency.
