Role of Nondiagnostic Exercise-Induced ST-Segment Abnormalities in Predicting Future Coronary Events in Asymptomatic Volunteers

Abstract

Both a classic ischemic ST-segment exercise response and intensification of minor preexercise ST-segment depression to levels > or =1 mm independently predicted future CE in this asymptomatic population. Neither slowly rising ST depression nor horizontal ST depression <1 mm was prognostic.
