Abstract
A retrospective evaluation was performed of patients who underwent exercise tests and angiography and 50 ambulatory normal subjects who underwent only exercise testing. We found that when Delta ST depression of 0.5 mm was com bined with Delta R-wave decrease of 1 mm, the sensitivity and specificity w ere improved.
