Cardiorespiratory optimal point during exercise testing and sudden cardiac death: A prospective cohort study
Why the study?
Cardiorespiratory optimal point during exercise may be an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease outcomes, but its relationship with sudden cardiac death risk had not been investigated.
Is cardiorespiratory optimal point (COP) during exercise testing associated with the risk of sudden cardiac death in men?
Population
2190 men who underwent clinical exercise testing
Comparison
Cardiorespiratory optimal point levels during exercise
Design
Prospective cohort study
Follow-up
Median follow-up of 28.8 years
