Combined criteria may improve exercise test accuracy in women; leaves open need for prospective validation before practice change.
Does the addition of R wave analysis to conventional ST segment analysis improve the diagnostic accuracy of exercise testing in women?
Combining R wave analysis with conventional ST segment depression during exercise testing significantly improves the predictive accuracy for diagnosing coronary artery disease in women.
