Blackwelder WC [National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Westwood Building, Room 739, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland 20205, USA], Kagan A, Gordon T andRhoads GG. Comparison of methods for diagnosing angina pectoris: The Honolulu Heart Study. International Journal of Epidemiology 1981, 10: 211–215.

Data from the Honolulu Heart Study suggest that the examining physician's clinical diagnosis, based on questioning the subject about chest pain, was more sensitive than the Rose questionnaire in detecting angina pectoris in a population of Japanese men. The 2 methods appear equally specific for coronary heart disease.

Revised 22 January 1981
