May support risk stratification via exercise testing in obese men; leaves open whether targeting silent ischemia improves outcomes.
Does exercise-induced silent myocardial ischemia during treadmill testing predict future cardiac events in healthy, sedentary, obese men?
Exercise-induced silent myocardial ischemia and low VO2max during treadmill testing are independent predictors of future cardiac events in healthy, sedentary, obese men.
Katzel et al. (1999) studied this question.
