[Diagnostic efficacy of the graded exercise test in various arrhythmias]

The results of bicycle ergometry in 115 patients with various paroxysmal rhythm disorders are reported. A comparative analysis of the rate of provoked arrhythmia paroxysms in patients with supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) is presented. The exercise test proved to be of diagnostic value in 18.5% of the SVT patients and in 16.4% of those with PAF.
