Key result
In adults aged 18 to 65, 55% had normal resting ECGs, while major and minor ST depressions during or after exercise testing occurred in 78% of women and 60% of men.

ST depressions on exercise testing are common in adults 18-65; leaves open their prognostic value in asymptomatic populations.

What is the prevalence of normal and abnormal electrocardiographic findings at rest and during exercise in men and women aged 18 to 65?
This epidemiological study provides baseline prevalence data for resting and exercise ECG abnormalities in a general adult population, highlighting that ST depressions are common and increase with age.
Jonsson et al. (1977) reported a cross-sectional. Exercise ECG vs. Resting ECG was evaluated on ECG abnormalities (ST- and T-wave changes, arrhythmias, ectopic beats). In adults aged 18 to 65, 55% had normal resting ECGs, while major and minor ST depressions during or after exercise testing occurred in 78% of women and 60% of men.
