Key result
Medical management of men with coronary-artery disease and profound ST-segment depression during exercise testing resulted in a low annual mortality rate of 1.4% over an average of 59 months.

Medical management was associated with low mortality; leaves open whether it challenges routine surgery without randomized trials.

Does medical management result in a poor prognosis in men with coronary-artery disease and profound ST-segment depression during exercise testing?
Medical management of patients with coronary artery disease and profound ST-segment depression during exercise testing is associated with low mortality, challenging the routine recommendation for bypass surgery in this population.
Podrid et al. (1981) conducted a cohort in Coronary-artery disease with profound ST-segment depression (n=142). Medical management was evaluated on Annual mortality. Medical management of men with coronary-artery disease and profound ST-segment depression during exercise testing resulted in a low annual mortality rate of 1.4% over an average of 59 months.
