Does postexercise systolic blood pressure response improve the detection of coronary artery disease compared to conventional ST-segment depression in hemodialysis patients?
The postexercise SBP ratio is a more sensitive and specific noninvasive method for detecting coronary artery disease in hemodialysis patients compared to conventional ST-segment depression.
