Exercise-induced angina post-MI was associated with reduced survival; leaves open whether early treadmill testing improves risk stratification or outcomes.
Does limited treadmill graded exercise testing predict multivessel coronary artery disease, left ventricular dysfunction, and survival in patients within 3 weeks of myocardial infarction?
Limited exercise testing soon after myocardial infarction is a useful prognostic tool for identifying multivessel coronary artery disease, left ventricular dysfunction, and predicting long-term survival.
