Key result
Integrating multiple exercise test parameters with classical risk factors was clearly superior to classical risk factors alone for predicting CHD mortality over 26 years (P < 0.0001).

May refine long-term CHD risk assessment in healthy men; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.

Does integrating multiple exercise test parameters with conventional risk factors improve CHD risk assessment in apparently healthy men?
p-value: p=< 0.0001
Integration of multiple exercise test parameters with conventional risk factors substantially improves CHD risk assessment, particularly in high-risk individuals such as smokers with high cholesterol.
G ERIKSSEN (2004) conducted a cohort in CHD risk assessment (n=2,014). Classical risk factors plus multiple exercise test parameters (CRF+X) vs. Classical risk factors alone (CRF) was evaluated on CHD mortality (p=< 0.0001). Integrating multiple exercise test parameters with classical risk factors was clearly superior to classical risk factors alone for predicting CHD mortality over 26 years (P < 0.0001).
