    Using multiple electrocardiogram (ECG) leads during treadmill exercise tests significantly improves the detection of coronary artery disease. Combining 14-lead ECG with physiological data enhances diagnostic accuracy for multivessel disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Diagnostic Imaging
    • Exercise Physiology

    Background:

    • Standard electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation during exercise stress tests has limitations in detecting coronary artery disease.
    • Coronary arteriography remains the gold standard for diagnosing significant coronary stenoses.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic performance of a 14-lead ECG during maximal treadmill exercise testing compared to standard lead configurations.
    • To identify predictors of multivessel coronary artery disease using a comprehensive 14-lead ECG approach.

    Main Methods:

    • One hundred men with normal resting ECGs underwent maximal treadmill testing with 14 leads.
    • Coronary arteriography was performed the following day to confirm stenoses.
    • Exercise test results were correlated with arteriographic findings, comparing V5 lead alone versus multiple lead combinations.

    Main Results:

    • A 14-lead ECG system demonstrated significantly higher sensitivity for detecting coronary stenoses compared to single or fewer leads (58/66 patients, P < 0.001).
    • The 14-lead ECG correctly identified 96% of patients with multivessel disease.
    • Time to ischemia onset, pressure-rate product at ischemia onset, and maximum workload were key predictors of multivessel disease.

    Conclusions:

    • Multiple lead ECG configurations, particularly a 14-lead system, enhance the sensitivity and efficiency of treadmill exercise tests for diagnosing coronary artery disease.
    • Integrating physiological data with multi-lead ECG findings further improves the prediction of multivessel disease.
