[Value of dipyridamole test in the diagnosis of ischemic heart disease].
The diagnostic test with dipyridamol was carried out in 83 patients with ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and cardialgias of various genesis, with diagnosis verified by coronarography and veloergometry. IHD patients after dipyridamol had angina pectoris attacks with or without ischaemic changes on ECG, which points to latent coronary insufficiency. The appearance of an anginal attack with the depression of the ST segment is typical of IHD with stenosing coronary atherosclerosis, as a rule, with developed collateral vessels. As to sensitivity and specificity in detecting IHD the dipyridamol test is equal to the bicycle ergometry tests. With the results of both tests considered the frequency rate of detection of IHD is increased. The dipyridamol test is recommended for diagnosis of IHD in therapeutic and cardiological hospitals.
