Background: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is the first ranked and most common cause of death in cardiovascular and overall diseases. Objective: is to evaluate patients with CAD by performing exercise treadmill testing. Patients and Method: this study included patients with suspected stable coronary heart disease, who attended exercise treadmill test (TMT) unit in Salahaddin General Hospital during the period from October 2018 to March 2019. Duke treadmill score (DTS) was applied after the patient finishing the test to assess risk stratification. Results: The total number of patients included in this study was 136 patients. Positive TMT results were present in 40 (29.4%) patients, while 96 (70.6%) of patients had negative TMT results. The mean age of positive TMT patients was 49.6 ± 5.85 years while the mean age of negative TMT patients was 47.51 ±8.66 years. DTS revealed 96 (70.6%) patients with low risk, 16 (11.8%) patients with intermediate risk and 24 (17.6%) patients with high risk. Conclusion: TMT is a valuable noninvasive test for diagnosis of CAD in symptomatic patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
