Why the study?
To identify specific causes of death, determine the prevalence of non-CV deaths in an exercise test referral population, and test whether exercise test parameters predict non-CV as well as CV deaths.

May warrant inclusion in broader risk assessment; extends prior associations to non-CV mortality but leaves open need for interventional trials.
Do exercise test abnormalities predict non-cardiovascular and cardiovascular death in a primary prevention population?
Exercise test abnormalities, such as low functional aerobic capacity and abnormal heart rate recovery, predict both cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular mortality in a primary prevention population.
