[Diagnostic sensitivity of 24-hour electrocardiographic Holter monitoring in indications for coronarography].
The authors evaluated 24-hour ECG monitoring (Holter monitoring) in 70 patients indicated for coronarography. They assessed the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of Holter monitoring. They compared the findings with data reported in the literature and with the sensitivity of the ergometric test for indication of patients for coronarographic examination. Although the sensitivity and specificity of Holter monitoring does not exceed generally reported values of sensitivity and specificity of bicycle ergometry, in the discussion the authors mention conditions where Holter monitoring is an asset for indication of patients for coronarographic examination.
