    Heart rate adjustment improves exercise electrocardiogram analysis for predicting coronary artery disease. This method offers greater accuracy and simplicity compared to conventional ST depression analysis and other proposed techniques.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Exercise Physiology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • The exercise electrocardiogram (ECG) is crucial for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD).
    • Conventional analysis of ST segment depression has limitations in accuracy.
    • New methods for exercise ECG analysis are being developed to improve diagnostic performance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the diagnostic accuracy of four novel exercise ECG analysis methods against conventional ST segment depression analysis.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of these methods in predicting significant coronary obstruction and multivessel disease.

    Main Methods:

    • 303 patients without myocardial infarction underwent stress ECG and stress thallium imaging.
    • Conventional ST segment depression, thallium perfusion defects, R wave amplitude changes, and slope-adjusted heart rate increase were analyzed.

  • Sensitivity and specificity were calculated for each method in predicting >50% coronary obstruction.

    • Main Results:

    • Heart rate-adjusted ST depression showed higher sensitivity than conventional analysis across most specificities.
    • R wave changes demonstrated significantly lower sensitivity compared to conventional ST depression.
    • Slope-adjusted ST depression offered a slight sensitivity improvement only at a specificity of 0.73.
    • Heart rate-adjusted ST depression was more accurate for predicting multivessel CAD.

    Conclusions:

    • Heart rate adjustment represents a simpler and more accurate modification of conventional exercise ECG analysis.
    • This method enhances the prediction of coronary artery disease, particularly multivessel disease, compared to other evaluated techniques.
