The advent of selective coronary arteriography for clearly defining the anatomy of the coronary circulation and new forms of therapy, including coronary artery bypass operations, have contributed importantly to this renewed interest in the initial evaluation of patients with suspected coronary artery disease by electrocardiographic methods.The exercise electrocardiogram (ECG) has been of considerable value in the assessment of patients with definite or suspected ischemic heart disease (1), but segmental...References1.
