Key result
Exercise-induced ST-segment elevation has an average incidence of approximately 5% during stress testing and reflects severe reversible ischemia or marked left ventricular dysfunction.

Exercise-induced ST-segment elevation most commonly reflects abnormal left ventricular function or aneurysm in unselected populations, but can indicate severe reversible ischemia in patients without a history of myocardial infarction.

Chahine et al. (1993) conducted an editorial in Ischemic heart disease. Exercise-induced ST-segment elevation was evaluated. Exercise-induced ST-segment elevation has an average incidence of approximately 5% during stress testing and reflects severe reversible ischemia or marked left ventricular dysfunction.
