| مستخلص: | Seventy-five patients 36 to 68 years of age were studied after undergoing successful single-vessel percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). In all cases exercise tests (ETs) were made prior to the procedure and 2 to 4 days and 6 months thereafter. Angiographic controls were performed on patients with positive ET. Both early and late ET carried out after dilatation lasted significantly longer. Patients were able to tolerate greater work loads and their heart rates and arterial blood pressures also were higher. The ETs conducted prior to PTCA were positive in 62 patients. After dilatation, the early test was positive in 18 and the late test, in 10. Angiographic controls revealed restenosis in 75 percent of patients with single-vessel disease and positive ET. Thus, the results of ETs in patients with single-vessel disease tend to become negative after successful PTCA. Early and late positive ETs are associated with restenosis, while negative ETs indicate a good prognosis. |
