Why the study?
Cardiorespiratory optimal point during exercise may be clinically useful, but its prognostic relevance for adverse cardiovascular disease outcomes was unknown.

COP associated with higher CVD mortality risk in men; extends CPET prognostic research but leaves clinical adoption open pending validation.
Does cardiorespiratory optimal point (COP) during exercise testing predict cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in men?
Cardiorespiratory optimal point during exercise testing is independently associated with long-term fatal cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in men, improving risk prediction.
