Özet

Background In patients admitted to outpatient clinics with chest pain, changes in the ST-segments of electrocardiogram (ECG) readings are the most widely used criteria during treadmill ECG tests to determine myocardial ischaemia, despite its poor accuracy. In this study, we evaluated the benefit of combining elongation of P-wave duration (Pdur) and abnormal heart rate recovery (HRR) parameters in addition to changes in the ST-segments for the detection of myocardial ischaemia with treadmill ECG testing.
