Abstract

Exercise electrocardiographic (ECG) testing during follow-up after coronary angioplasty is widely applied to evaluate the efficacy of angioplasty, even in asymptomatic patients. One hundred forty-one asymptomatic patients without previous myocardial infarction underwent quantitative exercise ECG testing and quantitative coronary angiography 1 to 6 months after successful angioplasty in single vessel coronary artery disease to 1) determine the value of exercise ECG testing to detect "silent" restenosis, and 2) assess the long-term prognostic value of exercise ECG testing and coronary angiography. The prevalence of restenosis (defined as greater than or equal to 50% luminal narrowing at the dilation site) was 12% in this selected study group. Of 26 patients with an abnormal exercise ECG (ST segment depression greater than or equal to 0.1 mV), only 4 (15%) showed recurrence of stenosis. Sensitivity and specificity for detection of restenosis were 24% and 82%, respectively. One hundred thirty-four patients (95%) were followed up 1 to 64 months (mean 35) after exercise ECG testing and coronary angiography. Thirty-two patients (24%) experienced a cardiac event: in 25 patients (78%) the initial event was recurrent angina pectoris (New...Continue Reading
