Does exercise capacity predict the risk of death in asymptomatic women?
Exercise capacity is a strong, independent predictor of mortality in asymptomatic women, with implications for clinical practice and health care policy.
This is the largest cohort of asymptomatic women studied in this context over the longest period of follow-up. This study confirms that exercise capacity is an independent predictor of death in asymptomatic women, greater than what has been previously established among men. The implications for clinical practice and health care policy are far reaching.
