U-wave changes during treadmill exercise test were compared between 34 patientswith CAD and 33 normal controls.All of them were confirmed by coronary angiographv.Tenpatients with CAD and 1 normal subject in this study showed U-wave inversion during exercisetest.Of the 10 patients,4 had significant stenosis in one-vessel and 6 in multi-vessel of the ma-jor coronary arteries.The sensitivity,specificity and predictive value of exercise-inducedU-wave inversion were 29%, 97% and 91%,respectively.It is proposed that exercise inducedU-wave inversion is a reliable predictive index of CAD.
