Key result
Maximal treadmill stress test criteria, such as exercise duration ≤3 minutes in women (p<0.001) and ischemic ST response in men >40 years (p<0.01), correlated with CHD development over 5 years.

Does maximal treadmill stress test predict the development of coronary heart disease in asymptomatic men and women?
Maximal treadmill stress testing criteria, including ST response, R wave changes, and exercise duration, can predict the 5-year development of CHD in asymptomatic men older than 40.
Allen et al. (1980) conducted a cohort in Asymptomatic without known coronary heart disease (n=888). Maximal treadmill stress test was evaluated on Subsequent development of coronary heart disease (CHD). Maximal treadmill stress test criteria, such as exercise duration ≤3 minutes in women (p<0.001) and ischemic ST response in men >40 years (p<0.01), correlated with CHD development over 5 years.
