“…Moreover, in the current study, the diagnostic accuracy of the ST response in detecting the absence or presence of stress‐induced ischaemia by MPS was based on a holistic interpretation of the ST response and not on specific millimetre cut‐off values of ST depression, which is line with what has previously been shown about the need to go beyond specific millimetre thresholds in the interpretation of the ST response (Akil et al ., ). Females are known to have a higher rate of abnormal ST responses than males, as a non‐pathologic finding, making their diagnosis using EST more challenging (Sketch et al ; Fent et al ., ). Various possible explanations for this have been purposed, including digoxin‐like effect of oestrogen, haemoglobin concentrations and different chest wall anatomy in females (Sketch et al ., ; Kwok et al ., ).…”
