[Stress echocardiography in the identification of left anterior descending coronary artery disease in patients with inferior myocardial infarction and a positive exercise electrocardiography result].

Introduction And Objectives: In patients with an inferior myocardial infarction (IMI), ST-segment depression in left precordial leads during exercise electrocardiography (ExECG) has been associated with left anterior descending coronary artery (LADCA) disease. The aim of this study was to assess the value of stress echocardiography in identifying LADCA disease in patients with IMI and a highly abnormal ExECG result.

Methods: The study included patients with an IMI and an abnormal ExECG result whose coronary angiography findings were available.
