title: Comparison of ST-segment/heart rate slope analysis with standard ST-segment measurement criteria to outcome of exercise thallium-201 imaging.
abstract: We compared standard ST-segment analysis and ST/HR slope analysis of exercise ECG studies with reference to outcome of exercise thallium-201 studies in 341 patients. Sensitivity was significantly better using ST/HR slope compared with standard ST analysis. Specificity was not significantly different.
