Key result
The study investigated the association of exercise cardiac power with the risk of acute myocardial infarction and fatal coronary heart disease events in men, but quantitative results are not provided in the truncated abstract.
Why the study?
Cardiorespiratory fitness does not account for differences in cardiovascular resistance and afterload, leaving unclear whether exercise cardiac power predicts acute myocardial infarction and fatal coronary heart disease events.

Does exercise cardiac power predict the risk of acute myocardial infarction and fatal coronary heart disease events in men?
Exercise cardiac power, integrating VO2max and peak systolic blood pressure, is being investigated as a novel predictor for acute myocardial infarction and fatal coronary heart disease in men.
Exercise cardiac power may aid risk stratification in men; leaves open its added value beyond standard predictors in prospective studies.
Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is a predictive marker of cardiovascular capacity; however, it does not take into account possible differences in cardiovascular resistance and cardiac afterload between the subjects. Exercise cardiac power (ECP) is defined as the ratio of directly measured VO2max with peak systolic blood pressure (SBP) during exercise test. We aimed to explore whether ECP was a risk predictor of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and fatal coronary heart disease (CHD) events. Hence, we investigated the association of ECP (mL/mmHg) by integrating surrogates of preload (VO2max) and afterload (SBP) during exercise test with the risk of AMI and fatal CHD events in a population based...

Kurl et al. (2020) conducted a cohort in Risk of myocardial infarction and fatal coronary heart disease. Exercise cardiac power (ECP) was evaluated on Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and fatal coronary heart disease (CHD) events. The study investigated the association of exercise cardiac power with the risk of acute myocardial infarction and fatal coronary heart disease events in men, but quantitative results are not provided in the truncated abstract.
