Talk:Exercise stress test

not sure with mr. rubin deleted the numbers. i reintroduced them as i think they are pertinent for understanding the functionality of the stress test. Chantoke 04:21, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Specific medical indications are (a) subject to change, and (b) not actually of use except while talking to a doctor. The "pass/fail" numbers may be generally accepted, but are not helpful unless we claim to be giving medical advice. The false positive/false negative rates relate to a specific stress excercise test for a specific medical condition. Other tests called "exercise stress tests" or "stress excercise tests" may have different rates. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 14:57, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

still disagree. these are the current standard of measurement of this test at every hospital in the world. regardless of the machine that you use to measure it, researchers in electrophysiology have reached this is their consensus measurement worldwide. it's like saying the normal body temperature is 98.7 degrees. regardless of which hospital you're at, or if you're trying to defibrillate someone at an airport having a heart attack, this is the number.

actually, maybe the numbers should be included in the article on electrocardiograms. i will concede that. Chantoke 23:50, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
