Key result
Directly measured VO2peak strongly predicts long-term prognosis in men after MI, CABG, or IHD.
Why the study?
Exercise capacity measured by VO2peak has a major long-term influence on prognosis in men after MI, CABG, or IHD and its role in risk stratification needed clarification.
Does exercise capacity (VO2peak) predict long-term prognosis in men referred for cardiac rehabilitation?
Does exercise capacity (VO2peak) predict long-term prognosis in men referred for cardiac rehabilitation?
Direct measurement of VO2peak provides valuable long-term prognostic information for risk stratification and counseling in men undergoing cardiac rehabilitation.
Exercise capacity, as determined by direct measurement of VO2peak, exerts a major long-term influence on prognosis in men after MI, CABG, or IHD and can play a valuable role in risk stratification and counseling.
