Precordial electrocardiograms were taken before, during, and after exercise in 20 normal subjects and in 48 patients with cardiopulmonary diseases. Analysis of the findings was based on changes in Q-T interval, alterations in QRS, RS-T and T waves and on presence or absence of premature beats. Whereas in performing standard tests, normal subjects showed no evidence of coronary insufficiency, in about two-thirds of the patients abnormal changes were demonstrable. Definite RS-T depression and changes in Q-T interval were also observed in normal subjects under unusual stresses. The electrocardiographic changes during exertion were discussed and emphasized.
