Abstract
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) or coronary artery disease (CAD) has become predominant cause of death across the world and frequently stable angina, which is the most common presentation of this disease, gives hard time to reach a proper diagnosis due to duality of non-invasive testing. While Exercise Treadmill Test (ETT) is an inexpensive non-invasive modality which may have many output depending on method of interpretation, ST segment depression is much utilized but traditionally less perfect than available treadmill scores. We have compared its accuracy to Duke Treadmill Score (DTS), Simple Treadmill Score (STS) and Cleveland Clinic Score (CCS) among Bangladesh people to generate a local insight.
Objective
To estimate and compare accuracy of ST segment response, DTS, Simple Treadmill Score and Cleveland Clinic Score to predict CAD.
