May not signal ischemia in hypertensive men; leaves open non-atherosclerotic mechanisms for prospective validation.
Cross-Sectional (n=1,346)
In middle-aged Chinese men, post-exercise ST-segment depression is strongly associated with higher systemic blood pressure and age, highlighting non-atherosclerotic causes of this ECG finding.
CHAING et al. (1969) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy (n=1,346). Hypertension vs. Age-matched normotensive controls was evaluated on Post-exercise ST-segment depression. Hypertension was associated with at least a fourfold increase in post-exercise ST-segment depression compared with age-matched normotensive controls in healthy middle-aged Chinese men.
