Formal probability analysis based on Bayes' theorem greatly enhances the diagnostic capabilities of exercise testing in the detection of coronary artery disease. The pretest characteristics of a patient must be considered along with the test results in arriving at a post-test probability of disease. The essential concepts of probability analysis have broad applications in the entire field of medicine.
基于贝叶斯定理的形式概率分析极大地提高了运动试验在检测冠状动脉疾病方面的诊断能力。在得出疾病的检测后概率时,必须将患者的检测前特征与检测结果一并考虑。概率分析的基本概念在整个医学领域都有广泛应用。
