TI  - Comparative value of effort and adenosine-testing in the evaluation of patients 
      with old myocardial infarction.
PG  - 13-8
AB  - Exercise testing (ET) and adenosine testing (AT) coupled with ECG were applied in 
      25 patients with old myocardial infarction. ET was positive in 8 (32%) and AT in 
      10 (40%) patients, the sensitivity of the latter being slightly superior to the 
      former but inferior to the sensitivity reported in the literature for 
      AT-echocardiography. One should also notice the positivity of AT-ECG in 6 (24%) 
      patients, with negative or inconclusive ET, and the double product (DP) at 
      ischemic threshold which was twice as low for AT-ECG as for ET-ECG, proving that 
      AT induced ischemia by decreasing O2 myocardial input. It is concluded that 
      AT-ECG is useful in myocardial ischemia detection in association with ET or in 
      patients who cannot perform ET for different reasons.
