Background: Moderate risk Duke treadmill score (DTS) in threadmill test (TMT), needs additional diagnostic tool to increase its sensitivity of detecting severe coronary artery stenosis in patients with stable angina pectoris.A P wave dispersion (PWD) during TMT currently has a signifi cant relationship with DTS value and can increase the sensitivity in identifying an ischemia.This study aimed to investigate whether the addition of PWD in moderate risk DTS can improve the prediction of the severi
