| Abstract | Athens QRS score has been proposed as a new coronary artery disease index based on exercise induced QRS changes. It can be evaluated independently of ST -T changes. The purpose of our study was to assess Athens QRS score in diabetic patients with no evidence of ischemic heart disease. Patients and methods: The study included 33 normotensive type II diabetes mellitus patients (group A), of short duration (6.1 ± 3.8 years), aged 52.9 ± 0.8 years and 34 healthy volunteers matched for age, gender and body mass index (group B). All had no clinical and echocardiographic evidence of coronary artery disease, valvular and congenital heart disease, hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy and arrhythmia. All subjects underwent treadmill stress testing using Bruce protocol, which was negative. Athens QRS score was calculated using the formula: Athens QRS score (mm) = (DR-DQ-DS)aVF + (DR-DQ-DS)V5 where DQ,DR and DS are Q,R and S wave differences obtained by subtracting the immediate postexercise Q,R and S wave amplitude values from the baseline in leads aVF and V5. Results: are summarized in the following table: |
