[Criteria of myocardial ischemia in bicycle ergometry of patients with stenosing arteriosclerosis of the cardiac coronary arteries depending on the initial ECG at rest].
The sensitivity of various criteria of the physical exercise test in revealing myocardial ischemia was studied in 2 groups of patients with ischemic heart disease: 1st group of 64 patients with normal ECG at rest, 2nd group of 96 patients with cicatricial changes in the myocardium. Selective coronography demonstrated atherosclerotic narrowing (stenosis of more than 70%) of one or more coronary arteries of the heart in all patients. During physical exercise an attack of angina pectoris without "ischemic" changes on the ECG occurred in 36.1% of patients of the 1st group and in 22.4% of patients of the 2nd group. The frequency of other clinical signs of cessation of the exercise (dyspnoea, change of arterial pressure, extrasystole and others) was three and a half times higher in patients with cicatricial changes in the myocardium. It is concluded that the frequency with which signs of myocardial ischemia are revealed during physical exercise depends not only on the pronounced character of the pathological coronary condition and the development of collateral circulation but also by the sensitivity of the separate ECG leads and the presence and localization of cicatricial changes in the myocardium.
