Why the study?
Does limited treadmill stress testing before hospital discharge identify multivessel disease and predict coronary events in survivors of uncomplicated acute myocardial infarction?
Does limited treadmill stress testing before hospital discharge identify multivessel disease and predict coronary events in survivors of uncomplicated acute myocardial infarction?
Predischarge limited treadmill stress testing in uncomplicated MI survivors effectively identifies those with multivessel disease and a high risk of subsequent angina, helping select patients for early coronary arteriography.
