Diagnostic value of routine exercise testing in hospital patients with angina pectoris. [PDF]
BMJ, 1979 A group of patients with angina pectoris were investigated prospectively using a simple and well-recognised exercise test protocol, and S-T segment displacements during exercise were correlated with the results of coronary arteriography. Definitive exercise results in 100 patients correlated well with findings on coronary angiograms: 69 out of 70 ...

The diagnostic value of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody testing in a routine clinical setting [PDF]
QJM, 2001 Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) tests are a routine clinical assay in most UK hospitals. We examined the role of routine ANCA testing in achieving a diagnosis of systemic vasculitis in a routine clinical setting. From April 1996 to March 2000, 2734 samples from five hospital departments were tested for ANCA by indirect immunofluorescence ...
