Low PPV of early treadmill testing after thrombolysis cautions against routine risk stratification; challenges consensus recommendations in observational cohorts.
Does early treadmill stress testing predict recurrent ischaemic events in patients with acute myocardial infarction treated by thrombolysis?
Early treadmill stress testing has limited positive predictive value for identifying patients at risk of recurrent ischemic events after thrombolysis for acute myocardial infarction.
Stevenson et al. (1993) studied this question.
