    New stress test criteria improve detection of coronary artery disease. These guidelines help identify false negatives, particularly in patients with single-vessel disease, enhancing diagnostic accuracy.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Diagnostic Imaging
    • Medical Electrocardiography

    Context:

    • Electrocardiographic (ECG) stress testing is a cornerstone in diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD).
    • Accurate interpretation of stress test results is crucial for patient management.
    • Previous criteria for positive stress tests have limitations, leading to potential underdiagnosis.

    Purpose:

    • To review and present recently developed criteria for interpreting positive exercise stress tests.
    • To highlight specific ECG findings indicative of coronary artery disease.
    • To improve the recognition of false-negative stress test results.

    Summary:

    • The "nearly ischaemic" pattern (ST depression ≥1.5 mm, slow rise slope ≤1 mV/s) predicts CAD (70%) and multi-vessel disease (40%).

  • Decreased Q wave amplitude in V5/V6 at maximal effort is a sensitive (82%) and specific (88%) marker for left coronary or anterior interventricular artery disease.
  • U wave inversion in V5 during effort is a highly sensitive and specific (97%) sign of left coronary or anterior interventricular artery disease.

    • Impact:

    • These new criteria enhance the detection of false-negative stress tests, which can occur in up to 50% of patients with single-vessel disease.
    • Improved accuracy in stress test interpretation can lead to earlier and more appropriate treatment for coronary artery disease.
    • Facilitates better risk stratification and management strategies for patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease.
