Supports multistage testing for CAD screening; leaves open need for prospective validation before practice change.
Does multistage exercise testing with multiple lead systems improve diagnostic accuracy and safety in the evaluation of coronary artery disease?
Multistage exercise testing with simultaneous multiple lead ECG recording is recommended for improved diagnostic accuracy and safety in screening for coronary artery disease.
Sotobata et al. (1981) conducted a review in Coronary artery disease. Exercise testing was evaluated. Multistage exercise testing with simultaneous recording of multiple ECG leads and blood pressure monitoring improves diagnostic accuracy and safety in evaluating coronary artery disease.
