Abstract:Objective To investigate the prognostic value of microvolt T-wave alternants and ST/HR index in patients with positive result in treadmill exercise test (TET). Methods A total of 245 patients with positive result in TET were included in the study, and they were divided into coronary heart disease (CHD) group and non CHD group based on coronary angiography. Results Gender, age, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, family history of CHD, basic systolic pressure, the maximum heart rate, the ratio of the maximum heart rate over expected maximum heart rate (rHR), heart rate reserve (HRR), microvolt T-wave alternants (MTWA), and ST/HR index were risk factors for CHD (P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis indicated that male, diabetes, family history of CHD, HRR, and MTWA were independent risk factors for CHD. Area under the curve (AUC) analysis suggested that MTWA (AUC: 0.578, P = 0.038) and ST/HR index (AUC: 0.669, P = 0.034) were promising diagnostic biomarker for CHD. Conclusion MTWA and ST/HR index can inprove the accuracy of TET in diagnosing CHD.
