Does exercise electrocardiography accurately detect physiologically significant coronary stenosis in patients with one-vessel coronary artery disease?
Exercise electrocardiography is a good predictor of the physiological significance of a coronary stenosis when compared to coronary flow reserve in selected patients.
Wilson et al. (1991) studied this question.
