- Original description
The primary aim is to perform the largest study worldwide to evaluate novel biochemical and electrocardiographic signatures alone as well as in combination with the standard 12-lead exercise ECG in the detection of exercise-induced myocardial ischemia (diagnostic endpoint). The secondary aim is to evaluate these innovative tools in the risk prediction for the occurrence of cardiovascular death and acute myocardial infarction during long-term follow-up.Read full original descriptionShow less
BASEL VIII Trial - Biochemical and Electrocardiographic Signatures in the Detection of Exercise-induced Myocardial Ischemia
The primary aim is to perform the largest study worldwide to evaluate novel biochemical and electrocardiographic signatures alone as well as in combination with the standard 12-lead exercise ECG in the detection of exercise-induced myocardial ischemia (diagnostic endpoint). The secondary aim is to evaluate these innovative tools in the risk prediction for the occurrence of cardiovascular death and acute myocardial infarction during long-term follow-up.
Inclusion: Patients presenting with suspected exercise-induced myocardial ischemia referred for rest/ergometry myocardial perfusion SPECT.
Exclusion: Age < 18 years; Pregnancy; Unable or unwilling to give informed consent; Symptoms at rest or minor exertion.
