After both systolic and diastolic dysfunction in CAD, the characteristic pattern of chest
pain and associated EKG changes occur. On an EKG, you would expect to find
STsegment and T-wave changes central to demonstration of ischemia occurring
relatively late in the ischemic cascade. True or False ANSWER True
The leads on the ECG showing ischemic changes during or immediately after an ETT
can roughly correlate to the culprit artery or arteries with significant CAD. True or False
- ANSWER True
What ECG changes can reduce the specificity of the ETT? - ANSWER Paced rhythm and
resting bundle branch block
