Abstract

The multistage maximal exercise test was performed to 135 cases with various heart disease and 207 control group between jan. 1980 and Dec. 1980 in KoreaGeneral Hospital. The change of heart rate, blood pressure and ST segment in various heart disease were compared with those in control group. The results were followings; 1. There were 130 male and 77 female of cases with control group, whose mean age were 50 years old. 2. General check up was the most common underlying disease of control group(67 patients) and the others were gastritis (28), neurosis (24), diabets mellitus (17), hepatitis (4) and peptic ulcer (4) frequency. 3. Change of heart rate, blood pressure and ST segment in control group during GXT were 89~154, 119/80~157/88 mmHg and 0.6~2 mm. 4. There were 81 male and 51 female of cases with various heart disease group, whose mean age were 50 years old. 5. Atherosclerotic heart disease was the most common underlying disease of various heart disease group (49 patients) and the others were hypertension (34), hypertensive cardiovascular disease (22), labile hypertension (14), angina (7), arrythmia (6) and others (3) in frequency. 6. Change of heart rate, blood pressure and ST segment in various heart disease group during GXT were 85~148, 140/93~178/102 mmHg and -0.7~1.3mm. ST segment in atherosclerotic heart disease, hypertension, hypertensive cardiovascular disease, valvular heart disease and myocardial infarction were significantly depressed(p<0.05) compared with ST segment in control group.
