Stress ECG may correlate with angiographic revascularization after IMA implantation; leaves open its role in guiding decisions pending prospective validation.
Does stress electrocardiography accurately reflect angiographic revascularization and symptomatic improvement after internal mammary artery implantation in patients with coronary disease?
Stress electrocardiography provides objective evidence of myocardial revascularization that correlates closely with angiographic findings, distinguishing true revascularization from subjective symptomatic improvement.
Kassebaum et al. (1969) studied this question.
