Evaluation of chest pain

ABSTRACT

Exercise Threadmill Test and Echocardiography was done in 50 patients presenting with chest pain. 55 percent of males and 39 percent of females had positive tests. The description of chest pain had some significance in males but not in females. Resting ECG abnormalities were of predictable value in male but not in female. Left ventricular dysfunction with exercise is sensitive parameter for dectecting coronary artery disease.
