    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Clinical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Exercise stress tests are crucial for evaluating cardiovascular health.
    • Interpreting electrocardiographic (ECG) changes during stress tests can be complex.
    • A standardized method for ECG codification is needed for efficient data analysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a simple clinical method for codifying significant electrocardiographic changes observed during exercise stress tests.
    • To establish a concise and comparable system for recording pre-exercise, exercise, and post-exercise ECG findings.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a five-symbol codification system for key ECG parameters: basic pattern, heart rate, ventricular conduction, rhythm, and ST segment deviation.
    • Utilizing common abbreviations for pre-exercise, during-exercise, and post-exercise ECG evaluations.

  • Incorporating peak heart rate achieved during exercise into the codified data.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed codification system provides concise data representation.
    • The codified data is easily comparable across different tests and patients.
    • The system's reliance on familiar symbols aids in learning and clinical application.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed codification method offers a practical approach to standardizing exercise stress test ECG interpretation.
    • This system enhances the efficiency and comparability of clinical data derived from stress tests.
    • The method facilitates better understanding and application of ECG findings in a clinical setting.
