The Usefulness of the HyperQ Stress System in Routine Annual Screening Testing

The Usefulness of the HyperQ Stress System in Routine Annual Screening Testing

The main objective of this study is to compare the sensitivity and specificity of a new system for analyzing the electrocardiogram (ECG) to the sensitivity and specificity of a conservative treadmill test in asymptomatic subjects, classified by Framingham score as moderate to high risk. Subjects will perform a routine exercise test with the addition of another set of electrodes to record high resolution ECG. All subjects will perform a stress echocardiography. The result of the routine ECG analysis will be compared to the new system and to the echocardiography results.

Inclusion Criteria:

• A patient referred to annual screening check
• Classified as being at intermediate or high risk for the development of cardiovascular disease by the Framingham score.
• Signed an Informed Consent Form

Exclusion Criteria:

• A subject who cannot or should not perform an exercise test.
