Abstract

Objective: To investigate the sensitivity of electrocardiogram treadmill exercise test (TET) for diagnosing coronary heart disease (CHD) .Methods; 133 patients with chest pain undergoing TET and coronary angiography (CAG) were enrolled. The results of TET and CAG were compared to evaluate the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of TET. Results:The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of TET for diagnosing CHD was 89.0% ,55.0% ,and 73.7% .Conclusion:TET has significiance on diagnosing CHD,evaluating cardiac ischemia and effect of invention treatment,but its sensitivity and specifictiy should be improved.
