Diagnostic accuracy of exercise stress testing for coronary artery disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective studies

Abstract: The diagnostic accuracy of exercise testing varies, depending upon the age, gender and clinical characteristics of the patient, prevalence of CAD and modality of test used. Exercise testing, whether by echocardiography or ECG, is more useful at excluding CAD than confirming it. Clinicians have concentrated on individualising the treatment of CAD, but there is great scope for individualising the diagnosis of CAD using exercise testing.

“…The coronary arteries were assessed using the 17-segment AHA model. Disease of the epicardial coronary arteries hypoxia appears to be generally unable to correct myocardial ischemia that is detected using the exercise stress test (EST) (1). The presence of spare A 2A R in CAD patients and its role in CAD pathophysiology in which the regulation of myocardial blood flow is altered have never been addressed, and we hypothesized that spare A 2A R is present in CAD patients to try to correct myocardial ischemia.…”

“…Посредством мета-анализа было показано, что диа-гностическая точность нагрузочных тестов зависела от возраста, пола, клинических характеристик, вида нагрузочного теста, а также от используемого прото-кола теста [18,19]. Так, у больных с однососудистым поражением нагрузочные тесты с постепенным уве-личением нагрузки зачастую не выявляют ишемию миокарда, несмотря на наличие симптомов стено-кардии, возникающих при каких-то особых усло-виях.…”

“…В реальной клинической практике диагно-стическая точность нагрузочных тестов зависит от не-скольких основных показателей: возраста, пола, клиниче-ских характеристик, вида и протокола нагрузочного теста [9]. Например, у больных с однососудистым поражением тесты с постепенным увеличением нагрузки чаще не вы-являют ишемию миокарда, несмотря на наличие симпто-мов стенокардии, возникающих в других условиях.…”
