Abstract
Twenty healthy male subjects (age range, 15-25 years; median, 21 years ) underwent magnetocardiography during physical exercise. Significant ST-segment displacements of the magnetic signal were found during exer cise at a heart rate of 120 beats/min compared to the magnetic signal at rest (P < .001). Since no significant ST-segment changes were found in the electrocardiogram recorded simultaneously with the magnetocard iogram, it is concluded that the magnetocardiogram shows junctional ST -T segment changes earlier than the electrocardiogram.
