Abstract
Criticism of exercise testing for ST-segment abnormalities by Redwood et al. because of an apparent high incidence of false positive responses is challenged. The negative results obtained by Redwood et al. do not appear to be justified based on currently available scientific data.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
