Table 5 Diagnostic Performance of Exercise ECG for the Detection of CAD According to Disease Severity

From: Comparison of exercise electrocardiography and stress perfusion CMR for the detection of coronary artery disease in women

Exercise ECG

 

CAD ≥ 70%*

CAD ≥ 50%

Sensitivity

50% (10/20)

50% (13/26)

Specificity

73% (35/48)

76% (32/42)

Diagnostic Accuracy

66% (45/68)

66% (45/68)

PPV

44% (10/23)

57% (13/23)

NPV

78% (35/45)

71% (32/45)

  1. CMR = Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, ECG = Electrocardiogram.
  2. CAD = Coronary Artery Disease, PPV = Positive Predictive Value.
  3. NPV = Negative Predictive Value.
  4. * or ≥50% left main disease.
