Why the study?
Do established coronary risk factors predict ischemic electrocardiographic responses during exercise testing in asymptomatic hypercholesterolemic men?
Do established coronary risk factors predict ischemic electrocardiographic responses during exercise testing in asymptomatic hypercholesterolemic men?
Proportional hazards analysis, which accounts for exercise capacity, reveals that cigarette smoking and physical inactivity are significant predictors of ischemic ECG responses during exercise testing in asymptomatic hypercholesterolemic men.

May inform pretest risk stratification in asymptomatic men; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
