Implication

Supports safety of early post-MI exercise ECG in selected patients; leaves open need for RCTs before routine adoption.

Structured PICO

Is a routine exercise ECG test safe and feasible in patients three weeks after an acute myocardial infarction?

P
Population
209 patients in the third week (mean 18 days) after acute myocardial infarction, prior to discharge from the Coronary Care Unit.
I
Intervention
Routine exercise ECG test on a bicycle ergometer (starting at 300 kpm/min, increasing by 300 kpm/min every 6th min) aiming at maximal symptom-limited performance.
O
Outcome
Safety and physiological response (heart rate, blood pressure, ECG changes) during exercise testing.safety

Routine symptom-limited exercise ECG testing is safe and provides objective physical work capacity measures in patients three weeks post-myocardial infarction.
