BACKGROUND: Exercise electrocardiography (ECG) is a common diagnostic and prognostic method for the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, its accuracy in asymptomatic women has not been comprehensively investigated and the diagnostic criteria may require refinements. This study evaluated the performance of ECG-derived ST/HR-index, ST/HR hysteresis and ST-segment depression parameters among asymptomatic middle-aged women.
METHODS: 108 women (mean age 56 ± 4 years) performed exercise ECG test on treadmill until exhaustion three times within a nine-month period. False-positive rates of maximum ST/HR-index, ST/HR hysteresis, and ST-segment depression values measured from 12 leads at peak exercise and after one-minute recovery were evaluated with recommended diagnostic partition values. Repeatability was assessed with intraclass correlation (ICC) and Bland-Altman plot analysis.
RESULTS: False-positive rate was lower for all variables when a two‑lead configuration was used instead of a single‑lead configuration. Using a two‑lead configuration, ST/HR hysteresis (0-1.9 %) and ST-segment depression after one-minute recovery (0-2.8 %) had lower false-positive rates compared to ST/HR index (3.7-20.4 %) and ST-segment depression at peak exercise (9.3-27.8 %). ICC values indicated moderate repeatability for ST/HR hysteresis while ST/HR index, ST-segment at peak exercise, and ST-segment after one-minute recovery had moderate-to-good repeatability. Bland-Altman analysis indicated poor repeatability for all evaluated ECG variables.
CONCLUSION: In asymptomatic middle-aged women, practitioners should prefer the use of ST/HR hysteresis and ST-segment after one-minute recovery over the conventional ST-segment depression at peak exercise or ST/HR index, and evaluate the ECG data from a two‑lead configuration instead of single‑lead.
