Myocardial ischemia (MI) has the highest mortality rate in the world. Traditional noninvasive MI examinations include exercise electrocardiography tests (EETs) and stress echocardiography (SE). Treadmill and dobutamine tests are commonly used as stress protocols. In the present study, 278 patients with suspected MI were examined, 66 of whom were diagnosed with MI and 212 did not show evidence of MI by coronary angiography (CAG)/coronary CT angiography (CCTA). All patients underwent clinical EET and SE evaluations prior to CAG/CCTA. All groups were compared based on specific clinical parameters including age, sex, blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, underlying conditions and ejection fraction/fraction shortening. The data indicated superior diagnostic efficiency of the combined EET+SE method for the diagnosis of suspected MI compared with either EET or SE alone. The sensitivity/specificity/positive predictive value and negative predictive value for detecting MI were excellent compared with those of traditional examinations. The diagnostic efficiency of the combination analysis may reduce the prevalence of MI and medical costs. The present study provided novel insight for the development of methods that may be used for MI detection and prediction.
