Purpose:
This study was designed to analyze the value of 24 h dynamic electrocardiography (DCG) examination in the diagnosis of pulmonary heart disease (PHD).
Methods:
Ninety cases of patients with PHD were included as the observation group, and 50 cases of healthy patients were enrolled as the healthy group. Both groups received DCG examination.
Results:
The proportion of ST depression and elevation as well as the magnitude and duration of ST depression differed significantly between the observation and healthy group (P < 0.05), and the magnitude of ST elevation in patients of the observation group with decompensated heart failure was greater than that of patients with compensated cardiac function and the healthy group (P < 0.05). The incidence rates of sinus bradycardia (SB), ventricular premature beats (VPB), paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia (PVT), and ventricular fibrillation (VF) in patients in the observation group with decompensated heart failure were higher than those of patients with compensated cardiac function and the healthy group (P < 0.05). The differences in standard deviation of the NN (R-R) intervals (SDNN) and standard deviation of average NN intervals (SDANN) between the three groups were significant, and the root mean square of successive RR intervals (RMSSD) of patients in the observation group with decompensated heart failure were lower than those of the healthy group (P < 0.05). The differences in deceleration capacity (DC), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and heart rate variability (HRV) between the three groups were significant (P < 0.05).
Conclusion:
The results obtained by DCG examination can help clinical assessment of cardiac function in the decompensated or compensated stage, which can assist in judging the condition of PHD and guide clinical treatment.

Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.

Components of the Electrocardiogram
The primary components of a normal ECG waveform in Normal sinus rhythm(NSR) include the P wave, PR interval, QRS complex, ST segment, T wave, and occasionally a U wave.
ECG waveforms are divided by vertical and horizontal lines at standard intervals.
The horizontal axis measures time and rate, and the vertical axis measures amplitude or voltage....
